LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB RACES.
sixth Day Of the Spring Meeting.

\ LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB RACES. :
SIKH Day Of the Spring Meeting.
Though last, yesterday was not the least
prosperous day Of this meeting. 1t seemed
a. if half of our citizens had cut loose from
business and attended the course. It was
the peoples day and the peoples race, and
the weather continued superb. Three races
proved attractive, for the grand stand and
adjoining places were well filled with Wis
itors, the majority consisting Of the better
class of citizens. There existed q social
feeling and commingling which placed even
stranger at his ease.
Ladies filed many seats, and the fair sex
never before here displayed 80 great an IN
terest in turf contests. 1t seems as II new
era had opened in this community for such
recreation; consequently the club is greatly
encouraged, 80 that at the next meeting
still further improvements will be made,
and greater facilities offered. The track
and grounds are pronounced as ranking
with the best in the Union. Time made
during the past meeting will compare ia
vorably with other courses.
There was sharp work yesterday, as can
be seen by the following
