! EDITORS CHRONICLE: Another day of
excitement has passed in this place. Being
| the last day of the races Of this season and
as the most important race in the three
| days was to come off the attendance was
| increased considerably over the previous
| days. Adding the Indian Show Troupe
and those attracted to the town by them,
the streets presented quite a lively appear
amce. Small groupes Of persons were to
| be seen standing here and there holding
| discussions on the results of the several
| horses to run during the day Among
| those who seemed particularly interested,
| we notice, r. B. Cheatham, - Kinney,
| Jack Lowe, d. NJ. Nelson, J. ID. Traynor,
| J. X. Clingan, James Hays and others, in
| Guiding Major S. Hambright, of Charles
| ton, Tenn. The Major was going all on
Bushwhacker. At the selling of pools the
| Major evidently had got tangled and SEEM
| ed hardly to know whether he was buying
| to win or to loose. With a little eXpla-
nation from the Marshal on selling
the pools, he became Strengthened
out again i'm his transactions. But,
alas! Wild Pigeon won the pools,
Bushwhacker coming in fourth best The
last we heard Of the Major, he said, let Us
take drink, and we went for one of W.
w. Wood & Co.'S wooden pumps, used for
supplying the grounds with water. The
well. On the first mile Bay Mack ran well,
getting close upon AncrOid. Some two or
three hundred yards Of the stand Bay Mack
was passed by Wild Pigeon. The horses
came in on the second mile as follows {:
AnerOid, Wild Pigeon, Bay Mack only |
half length, behind the others following.
The races were a success pecuniary and |
otherwise. There will be nett profit of
about $4,000 in favor of the association. |
Messrs. Reynolds and PiclIins as Sccre- |
taries and Morgan as Treasurer, per- |
ways on hand, no need of looking |
after or sending for when wanted |
The Judges did their duty impartially. |
We heard of no murmuring whatever af- |
ter they had decided on any of the races.
Mr.. P. NJ. Craigmiles, one of the Judges, in
speaking of the track said, the fact of
it being undulating made it superior to
tracks made level, as it alternately changes
the action Of the muscles of the horse, there
by giving rest, which allows the horse to
come in on the home stretch less
Cured in the telegram sent you to-
day. Tine horse, Grey Eagle, was sold,
and not Mamie Rogers, as stated. Since
then ChCatham has disposed of his horse |
Aneroid, at what price we did not learn.
Cleveland has National Bank, presided
over by Mr.. Reynolds as President, and
Mr.. Parker as Cashier. Mr.. Reynolds
is the father Of J. H. Reynolds, the carri-
age manufacturer. A half hour converse
ton satisfied us of his genial disposition,
and capacity for the banking business.
The Directors. made good selection when
they made Nh. Parker second officer of
the bank.
We paid the carriage mandatory of
J. H. Reynolds a visit to-day, where we
found vehicles of several kinds, in differ
ent stages Of construction, among
which were several pretty buggies,
known as the coal bog. Mr.. Rey-
nolds makes q practice Of finishing
about what he thinks will be sold dur
ing the season, which leaves him with |
put few in a finished state on hand. He !
las probably the largest stock of seasoned
lumber suitable for his work of any party
n Fast Tennessee. He estimates it at five !
rears supply. Wheelbarrows manufacture ,,
ID by him have been sold all through this
country. Knoxville has had good share
If them, and We believe have given salts
action TO parties buying them. He also
outs up hacks and wagons Of several de-
criptions. In the construction of buggies
md other light vehicles, the celebrated
Sarven wheels are used.
