b Two Coed Races Yesterday.
DoubAe.Out and EIand the Winners. /
The Spring meeting over the Nashville
Course opened yesterday under favorable
auspices. The weather was clear and
pleasant, and, barring the dust, better
day for the Inauguration Of the races could
not have been wished for. The attend
ance, although not large, was fair, and
about as good as is usually to be seen on
opening day. Jordan McGowan's band
was on hand as usual, and lively music was
enjoyed by all present. There was but a
few ladies present yesterday, and in this
particular the stand so handsomely fitted
up for their accommodation did not present
the same brilliant appearance which was a
prominent feature last season. m
FIRST RACE. f
The first race yesterday was an Agreed
Stake for four year olds-$50 entrance
mile heats-the association to add $500. In
this race there were four entries, to-wit:
Cheatham's Repeater, Turner q Johnson's
Double-Out, Diggon's gray FLY and Cock
rill's Richland. Double-Out was stout
favorite, and throughout sold in the pools
about two to one over Richland, and even
against the entire field.
FIRST HEAT.-At the start Double-O
had the call, Repeater pressing closely,
Diggons' gray third, and Richland tagging
behind. On reaching the quarter post,
Repeater had the post Of honor, about a
neck in advance Of Double Out, the posi-
ton being reversed by Richland and the
Brown Dick FLY. The latter after passing
the point commenced gaining rapidly, and
upon reaching the half mile post was a
neck in the lead, the other three contestants
punched. A yell went up for the little gray,
but its echoes had scarcely reached the valley
where meandeTed the now placid Cumber-
land before Richland showed signs of in
creased speed. But as Richland moved up,
there was swinging corners all round. The
Brown Dick who but a moment before ap-
peared to be an easy victor, had no passed
to the far rear, and Repeater was q bad
third. The three-quarter pole was passed
and Richland still in advance, which he
kept until nearing the distance stand, when
Double Out made handsome and spirited
dash, passing the big bob-tail with ease,
and landing home the winner Of the heat.
Time, $50.
SECOND HEAT-Richland led off hand
somely, leaving his opponents several
lengths in the rear, He passed the first
quarter three lengths in advance, continued
in the same position to the half mile, ditto
to the three-quarter post, when Repeater
turned Richland down. Double-Out now
made similar dash to the one in the first
heat, and passed under the string the win
ner Of the heat and race. Time 1:47a.
SECOND RACE.
The second race was the Cumberland
Stake for three year olds-mile heats-$50
entrance-AssOciation to add $500. The
contestants in this race were Turner'S Mig
nOnette, Stewards Jennie Mckinney, Ma
bry's Eland and Harding's Tallulsh. Tai
lulah was the favorite selling for $45 to $50
On Eland and SIS on the field.
FIRST HEAT.-Eland led from the start,
and at the first quarter was length in adj
vance of Tallulab, with Jennie Mckinney
and MignOnette following as named. Eland
continued to lead throughout, the contest
up to the home stretch being very excit-
ing one with Tallulah, the former passing
under the string neck ahead. Time TAT.
SECOND HEAT.-Mignonette took the
lead, but upon reaching the quarter Eland
had the post Of honor by length, and con-
tinued in advance to the close, winning the
heat with ease in 1;46d.
