Racing az Atlanta.


The Atlanta Constitution gives the follow.
ing account of the racing at that place on
Monday last, in which several of our horses
figured. That paper says:
Owing to the rain, which set in about ]
A. NJ. and continued until about O'Clock,
a comparatively small crowd gathered at
Oglethorpe Park to witness the running
races announced to come off at O'Clock.
The track was in such miserable condi-
ton, both for speed and safety, that the
gentlemen subscribingthe purses were anx-
ious to have the races postponed until to-
day, but the owners of the horses having
made their arrangements to go to Macon, it
was decided to run over the track as it was
very heavy and slippery, especially around
the turns. The race was the best two in
three mile heats, $500 for the first horse,
500 for the second.
There were three entries.
W. Kinney names c. C. Graham McNairy,
3 year old, by Jack Malone, dam Velvet, by
Wagner.
Thomas Dickson names C. g. Bob Shelton,
4 year old, by Australian, dam Lavender,
by Wagner.
E. It. Craig names G. G. Tom Provost,
year old, by Lightning, dam Albion.
They got beautiful start; got safely
round the turn, and went down the back
stretch well together. Just before getting
to the second turn McNairy made beauti-
full breast of speed, and at the turn had the
lead and inside track, but slipped up behind
and came near falling. Gathering quickly,
she however, came down the stretch ahead,
and passed the pole about length in front
OF Bob Shelton, Provost well up. Just be-
fore getting to the next turn Bob Shelton
pushed up to her. and at the turn they were
well together. Bob next to the railing, on
the inside, and McNairy and Provost nearer
the middle of the track. The race was
beautiful, and all present were looking anx-
iously for them TO get round the turn, when,
suddenly both McNairy and Provost slipped
up and went to the ground. In a twinkling
both horses were up and started together,
riderless, around the track. Ina second or
two McNairy's rider rose, shook himself,
and commenced walking back towards the
Judges stand. But the rider of Provost lay
metionless in the mud. Several men rushel
TO the spot and lifted him on his feet, after
which he gradually recovered, and Drs.
Ray and Owens, upon examining him, found
no bones broken-and the last we saw of
him he was making for the stable, -appar-
emily none the worse for his fall except that
bis clothes were as black as his face. Mean
while, Shelton had continued the run and
made the heat in two minutes, and having
distanced his competitors was decided to
have won the race.
The next race was dash of mile-S100.

G. w. Kreis names S. G. Harvey, sire and

On the start Belle Buckle had the inside,
Donovan next, Harvey outside.
They got good start and ran the race in
minutes second, Donovan winning,
Belle Buckle next and Harvey third.

Nashville Opera House

There was another large audience at the
Opera House last night to witness the ia
nous Black Crook, with all its magnificent
scenery, rich costumes, and gorgeous para
phernalia. The piece as an entirety was
better produced last night than on any pre-
vious evening, and everything passed of
with the greatest smoothness. The piece
has to be seen to be appreciated. 1t would
require columns to give even a faint de-
scription of the dazzling attractions of
which the piece is made up. No attempt
at criticism would do justice to the wonder
full trapeze act of the sylphlike Mile Tur-
nour, and no pen can describe the brilliant
Transformation scene. Go and see for
yourselves. In former notice we did Mr..
Keat injustice by naming some other per-
son in the character of Greppo, which he
enacts to perfection. Another large audi
ence may be expected tonight.

= ~, and Imprisoned wife.
The terrible and sanguinary tragedy last
Tuesday night enacted at the residence Of
]. T. Gilmore, on West Church street, the
least; revolving details Of which we, have
published, was yesterday matter o. very
general comment, especially among the ac-
quaintanees Of the unfortunate parties to
the bloody affair. Rendered UNCONSCIOUS
BY the Ratchet wound in the head inflicted
by his wife, Mr.. Gilmore remained in that
condition until noon yesterday, at which
time his reason seemed somewhat restored,
and he was able to converse intelIigently
with those who were present at his bedside.
Soon, however, he relapsed into a comatose
state, from which he again revived at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, and again talked
with the physician and Others present. 1t
Is said that Mr.. Gilmore entirely exonerates
his wife, taking all the blame of the deplor-
able occurrence upon himself, and disa-
vows any intention or desire TO prosecute
her, even should he recover from the effects
of the CHASTITY wound he received. Mrs.
Gilmore, who was sent TO prison soon after
inficting the wound, still remains in Jail, but
an effort viii probably be made to-day to
Obtain her release. She seems detected and
unhappy, in fact SO overcome by sorrow that
she scarcely realizes the unfortunate situa-
ton in which the act of frenzied moment
has placed her. To two friends, who called
ON her yesterday, she earnestly expressed
the hope that her husband might get well,
and made anxious inquiry as to what would
become of her children.

The California Vintage.

The Sacramento Bulletin of a late date saws:
The estimated product of the vine in Los An
geles county is ,250,O 600 gallons; SOnOma county
as much more; Napa county, 5OO.0OO gallons.
while San joaquin, Calaveras, TuOlumme, Fl
Dorado, Placer, Yuba, Butte, Tehama and Sa-
cramentO counties are expected 10 swell the
aggregate product of the State TO 5000 900 gallons
of wine or more. To this NAV be added 200 900
gallons OF brandy, though large share of the
material that might be utilized for brandy i
thrown away on account of Federal taxation and
the difficulties the law engenders. The vineyards
of the State have not suffered much tins wear
from pests or diseases. Beyond the damage done
in Los Angeles county by grasshOppers, and sun
burn in the more northern vineyards, the grape
has been free TO grow and perfect, and if not as
large as in former seasons, its juice is rich and
promises better vintage than ever before.

to see what was, by many, believed to be a
veritable wild man. This belief was quite
natural, owing to bis rough appearance,
long hair and beard. After satisfying the
curious that he was a child of civilization.
he amused them by answering frequent
questions, and telling anecdotes about Indi-
ans, bears, buffaloes, etc.
