meeting, the sun rose yesterday IN :
clear sky, and shone all day undimHed
by q cloud. The heat of his rays was
tempered by a delicious baimy breeze
which came ron The far Irelgnteu
with the perfume of the woods and gar
dens. now in the full glory of vernal
bloom. As a natural consequence, the
trains on the Charleston road from twelve
o'clock till three, went out 70 the track
loaded down with a living freight Of
hundreds on hundreds of the best peo-
pie of u city. The livery stables and
hack stands were also put under contri-
button for transportation, and by
two O'Clock scarcely a vehicle Of any
p~rstentions to decency could be secured
THE ATTENDANCE
on the stands was consequently very
large. The ladies' stand was fully one
half full. and a display of more beauty
eouId not be conceived OF. The Other
stands were also crowded, and everybody
seemed intent on enjoying and amusing
themselves.
THE TRACK
was in number one order, very fast, and
in a condition that reflects great credit on
the management of the party TO whom
the club intrusted it. We doubt II 1t
could be improved on.
THE RACE
was for the Green stake, mile heats, for
untried 3 VT. Olds, sub. so, p. p, to which
Club adds $500. There were fifteen en-
tries, as given yesterday morning, but
eleven forfeited, and only the following
went, in the order named

Grissim, by War Dance; dam by
WhaIebone. Colors, silver gray.
POOGs.-Lida Grissim was the favOrite
four to seven against the field in the first
sales, Banquet being next choice, Chick
aree third and the Blackjack last. The
tide soon changed, and Chickaree
first became the second favOrite, and sOon
stood at the head Of the pools. Much dis
was at first exhibited by outsiders
on account Of the apparent shyness Of
the professionals and sports. This wore
of very quickly, however, and the bid
ding was extremely Hvely-a dozen or
more hundred dollar pools being sold
c~Onsecutively.
The First Hedt.-The horses, on being
brought out, excited universal comment,
all of them appearing to be in splendid
condition. Chickaree was especially
admired, not only for his fauItless form,
but his exquisite condition The start
fair, Ida Grissim leading to nearly
The turn, where Chickaree went for her,
running like old nick, leaving the other
three or four lengths behind. The
quarter wa made in 26A, Chickaree

ne continued to nov away from Grissim
n spite of pulling, and at the half mile
two lengths Of daylight betweeN
hem. The half was made in 0:53. On
he three-quarter stretch Grissim brushed
or him, and ran up, cheek by jowl, leav-
ng Banquet and the Blackjack FLY ten
behind. At the turn the timber
laid to Ida Grissim vigorously, but
% no purpOse-Chickaree having the edge
md holding it. Banquet here took a To-
ion to 20 to the front, and made a bold
break for il, passing Grissim and challeng-
ng Chickares. The bay colt, however,
vas running for the heat, and came under
he string leading him by four lengths,
frissim being third and the Blackjack
lily fourth. Time, l:50Z.

Banquet and Ida went for him. At the
urn they were all in a bunch, and a rous-
cheer went up from the stands. Here
Banquet lit out, and sang ''home, sweet
ZONE" to his companions, the Black lock
lily brushing up and joining Ida. On
he home stretch the FLY passed up, and
t the distance stand passed Ida and
yhickaree, Banquet leading to the string
