THE ATTENDANCE
on the track was far better than the most
sanguine hoped for. The ladies, as If in
atonement for previous neglect, turned
out in full force and in all their beauty
We have seldom Q take IL all and all
a more comelV and beautiful collection.
The attendance of celebrities was also
large. We noticed among the guests IN
the ladies' stand the Hon. Jeffer-
son Davis, Hon. Jacob Thompson,
General Fegan-accompanied by the
lovely Miss Annie Merrick, OF Little
Rock, General Cheatham and Others
equally as well known throughout the
Union. Grave judges, wise lawyers, skill
full and physicians, yea-even
one. at least, of the ~cJoth-were there, and
all eagerly intent on the sport OF the day.
We hope they found it pleasant enough
to repeat the visit to-day, and bring with
them all their friends.
THE TRACK,
while not in first class condition, was SO
much better than on the previous day
that a man would have been
very hard to satisfy did he
not call it good. It improved very
much between one O'Clock and three-the
sun shining out quite warmly meanwhile,
1t was, perhaps, a second and ahalf slow
or thai in its BEST condition.
THE FIRST RACE

4. W. jennings oh. (. Sallie Farrell, by
imp. Australian; dam by Lexington.
In ne pools Cheatham's entry was the
favOrite on Thursday night, and at the
opening sales yesterday. The tide soon
turned, however, and Regent took the
precedence, selling $50 to Cheatham S35
in a pool OF SI25, jennings entry bring
ing $50, and Richards $40. jennings en-
try picked up in each successive pool
from s. in S65, to $50 in Sis.
The horses got pretty well off at the
tap-SaIlie Farrell leading Regent a little
but not much. 1t was plain almost from
the start to any n at all experienced in
such matters that the race was between
these two, and on them every eye was
turned. The struggle vas very close be-
tween them-nip and tuck to the foot of
the rise on the back stretch, where the
mare showed a half length ahead. A
sharp brush was made by Regent

from the quarter and was left fully ten
lengths at the half. On the homestretch
SalIie led handsomely, although the
timber was laid to the bay colt most
vigorously, and to do him justice be
made a most gallant struggle for the
race. The even pounds penalty were
much for him, however, and Sallie
managed to lead him a half length IN
der the string, making the mile in l.5OA:
