More Entries than ever before
known

The approaching meeting over the Nash
vile course promises to be the most bril-
liant and successful that has ever occurred
in the history of Tennessee. The number
of entries in the various stakes is sufficient
to determine this fact. Every stake is
handsomely filed, and everything augurs
well for most successful racing week.
Under the efficient management OF the
Blood Horse Association, the turf has been
elevated here to its proper standard, and
hence we find that distinguished turfmen
everywhere are giving their aid and en-
coursgement in what tends to the improve
ment of the horse. Thanks to the sound
Judgment and enterprise of our Association
for the sport that is promised.
The following are the nominations to the
stakes to be run at the regular fall meeting
of 1870: ..-.----.

Commissioners of the state in their last report who remark:
 ''The condition of the several Railroads of the State IS good and constantly improving under the management ot able and efficient officers It has now come to be generally admitted that it is ths best economy to keep railway in good condition. rather than to run it in the cheapest possible man. ner, with scant repairs, as the wear and tear of the rolling stock over a poor track more than counterbalances the amount expended to put the same track Tn good repair. Under this correct idea, therefore, the Railroads of the State are i'm proving from year to year, and as an encourage ment for the adoption of such course the Rail way travel and freighting business has increased upon every Railroad in the State over last year, as will be seen by the returns of the various Com panies' herewith submitted. And the Commission CTS have been pleased to observe 8 commendabla rivalry among the officers to render the travelling overtheir respective roads more acceptable to the to the public, by better road beds and such in- proyements in Oars, DepOts, and other accomoda- tions as would attract by their convenience and safety" t+ y -

ATHLETICS. There has been a noticeable
 reaction of late against athletic sports for
 students. It is claimed that high culture
 of both brain and muscle are not compati-
 ble, that your prominent boatist or ballisl is apt to be heavy of intellect about in pro-
 portion to the superabundance of his physical strength. While it sometimes happens that students neglect their studies
 in pursuit of their sports. we believe that
 in most instances the sound heads will be
 found on the sound bodies. The list of
 Yale Junior appointments which came out
 last week indicates this. The faculty of
 that venerable institution will probably
 notice that ont of class of one hundred and forty all the prominent boating and
 base ball men with one exception appear on the list, most of them with high ap- pointments. The list includes five of the University Nine, three of the University crew. A prominent boating man leads the class. The best gymnast stands eighth, and the best runner in college (who recent ly WOE the college foot race), and likewise the best skater, each take good appoint ments.
 The great advantage of a good physique will appear. however, rather in the stu dents after life than in his college career. The typical valedictorian graduates "played4out" man. The whole of his strength has been exhausted in the acquire. ment of mathematics and the dead lau- guages. and when he is called on to face the new education of practical life he fails Coisees Psufessors sils~.i+a that what is wanted of their insti tutions is to turn out men strengthened, not weakened, for the great !ife's work that is to follow. To this end careful training of the body is almost as much requisite 'as a careful training ef the mind. =
