VandaIfa, Lampi, and Wanderer the
winners.
The fall meeting of the Nashville Blood
Horse Association commenced Yesterday
under favorable auspices. The weather
was cool and bracing, the track in good
condition and everything in tip-top order.
The attendance was much larger than
usually to be seen on opening days, includ-
ing number of ladies, and the indications
are favorable for week of great interest.
The programme yesterday opened with what
was known as the Giles county agreed stake,
which was announced to take place at
Pulaski, and in the event of the abandon
ment of the course at that place to be
changed to Nashville. There were origin
ally five contestants, none of which came
TO the score except Maj. A. NJ. Carriers en-
try, which galloped over, and took down
the purse.
The regular programme opened with
dash of a mile for two year olds, closed with
twenty entries of which seven came to the
scratch as follows: Gen. w. G.. Harding's
Mozelle, A. Turner'S Nashville, Gen. A.
Buford's Zadok, j. d. Malone's Fanny
Malone, George Caiwallader's Vaudalia and
The Pet, AMI John Mattinely's Joe John
son. In this race Buford was the favorite
nearly two to one over any other named
horse.
At the appointed hour the different con-
testants made their appearance on the
track, all looking remarkably fine. We
have hardly ever seen better looking string
of "young Ones" and it was a common re-
mark among judges of horse flesh that they
would not give the toss of a copper for
choice. They came up to the score like
old stagers, and got the send of, which was
good one, with no trouble at all. Zadok
took the lead at the start, and kept it until
reaching the quarter post, when Vandalia
came up on his TANKS. Then Vandalia
passed to the front, and Nashville changing
position with Zadok, pressed closely on
Vandalia. At the three quarter pole, Van
dalia and Nashville were locked, and in
this position they came into the home
stretch, when Van3Tlia showed a front by
foot, and came to the stand about a
length ahead. Time, 1:49a.
SECOND RACE.
This race was mile heats for green year
ODDS, with Roger Hanson, Lady Greenfield,
.
Josh Guild as the contestants out of a field
of fifteen entries.
Cadwallader was big favorite, selling at
500 to $50 on Lamp, S36 on Roger Han
son and SIT on Lady Greenfield, the pool
seller not even asking SHOW much for Josh
Guild?n
First Heat-The contestants had an even
start at the tap of the drum. Roger Han
son soon took the lead and kept it for three
quarters of mile, when the favorite made
q handsome brush, and passed to the front
without even struggle, winning the heat
with ease, Lamp coming in third, and
Lady Greenfield aud Josh Guild distanced.
Time, 1:48t.
This result made Cadwallader a still
greater favorite, and pools were sold at
$40 on the winner Of the first heat to S45
on the field.
SECOND HEAT.-Lampi took the lead
for quarter when the three punched, and
in that condition continued TO the three
quarter pole, when Hanson fell behind.
Lamp and Cadwallader entered the home
stretch in lock, and had an exciting
struggle to the stand-Lampi passing under
the string about half length ahead. Time
1:4Si.
This unexpected result caused the know
ing ONES to take new departure, who in
order to hedge put no handsome amounts.
One pool sold was $3.50 on Lamp to sos
on CaldTallader.
THIRD HEAT.-Lampi took the lead
from the start, and won the heat with ease.
Time 1:50!.
THIRD RACE.
The third race was dash of mile and
quarter, With Wanderer, London, Emma
Pratt and Richland as the contestants.
London was a hot faVOrite, selling at S205
to Sl45 on Wand Ter and S35 on the field.
The start was made a. the three quarter
pole, and how they got off we could not
see, but when they passed the stand Wan
derer was in the lead, London second, En-
ma Pratt third and Richland in the rear.
There was no change in the positions until
the three quarter pole was reached, when
London pushed to the front, but coming
into the home-stretch, Wanderer again
turned his competitor down. The struggle
down the stretch was exciting, but Wan
deTer maintained his position, and came
home the winner in 2:l2a.
