with the rest that Sunday and Monday brought
To the thousands soournng here for the purpose oil
attending the races, they appeared early on the
track this morning, radiant with excitement and
pieasurable anticipation. Everything was in favor
of the prospect for the amusement. The track was
In capital condition. The day rose fair and delight
ful and continued so The ride to the course was
pleasant in the extreme. Everything seemed to
favor the occasion. From an early hour to a late
one the roads were thronged with ladies and gen.
tlemen, and when the horses came to the post
several thousand were present. The right of the
grand stand, with its Beauty's Corner fairly
sparkling with loveliness, was very anma-
ting. The scene recalled to many here
the antebellum days, when the racing
meetings of the Crescent City were SO often visited
by thousands making the South the home OF
racing The programme embraced two events, ana
they were finer struggles than anticipated, as the
field In the Louisiana Stake two mile heats, was
poor one, ewing to Monarchst having beaten the
OF those entered against him, and their owners
thought it policy not to exhaust their horses when
there was no chance of winning. The first race, a
dash of one mile, had thirteen entries, which mag
nifcent field created much enthusiasm the contest
being of the most exciting character. Usually,
however, and this race was not an exception, the
winner is of those who get away first, those
behind having but little chance. To-day the first
four away were the first four at the finish.
