Louisiana Jockey Club OF 1872 did not prove more
brilliant In point OF attendance than the second
day. The weather was less suspicious how
ever being suggestive up to noon OF heavy
shower. This did not visit u.s. but through
the whole Afternoon there was heavy
fog, which enveloped everything in it's damp
embrace, and made each event OF the day
matter Of mere surmse between the start and
the finish. Only halEa-d0zen ladies were present,
and while the racing was good, although on heavy
track, the whole AFFAIR appeared like q Fall dress
rehearsal where few people had been invited
rather than q regular meeting. The following was
the programme OF the days SPORT
