The Louisiana Jockey Club and It's Prospects-
The Programme Of the Fall Meeting.
NEW ORLEANS Nov 20, 1872.
In some. perhaps In many respects, the Louisiana
Jockey Club yet leads the advance in rivalry with
those OF other cities Within easy access from oil
portions OF the city, and in possession Of mag
nincent property it unites with its racing pur-
poses all the advantages incident to private club
from which the families OF the members are not
excluded. Its membership is composed OF over
six hundred OF our most active and enterprising
citizens, oil Of whom take ardent interest In Its
success. The only dinnculty as yet anticipated Is
the greater attraction offered by Northern tracks
In the way OF heavy purses, which, combined with
our remote position from the centre OF the racing
world, might prevent that full attendance OF
stables sought for. This they have endeavored
TO overcome by increased nberalty. Twenty thou
sand dollars was given in purses last Spring Over
ten thousand dollars will be given in the four
racing days at the approaching meeting and nearly
twenty thousand dollars in the Spring OF 1879 in
dependent OF the twenty thousand dollar subscrip-
tionpurse for four-mile heats OF which more anon.
II this lavish generosity does not serve to attract
the best stables they may well give 1t up; but from
present indications the contrary is the happier re-
or two there Is no doubt New Orleans will become
the fav0rite tournament ground for oil the crack
nags upon the turf

trous-eyed and mercurial Billy COnnor In the Ca
paclty OF general impresario is an important one,
and will tend no little towards making affairs
pass on harmoniously and smoothly. Some
weeks ago the contesting stables commenced
arriving, and the track now presents the usual
scene OF active preparation. As yet the epizooty
has not appeared in this section Of the country
and as the weather looks exceeding proptious the
outlook is most encouraging one in every re-
spect, and the meeting will no doubt be brilliant
one.
THE PROGRAMME
is somewhat abridged from the old routtne-the
usual six days sport being concentrated into
four-and this, considering the fact that Fall meet
ings are rarely as well attended as the Spring
events may be regarded as an Improvement. The
bill is however, attractive one, and is offlcally
promulgated as f0llows:-

THE STABLES.
A drive out to the track In the crisp Autumn air
yesterday discovered busy scene upon the train
ing ground, and run around among the stables
showed them well peoped with the equine aristoc-
racy. The accommodations are extensive and
well arranged upon the Louisiana Grounds, which
only lack more complete system Of drainage
(easiy secured at small outlay to make them
perfect in all respects. Upon crossing the wide
ditch which separates them from the Club
grounds proper, under the careful guidance
OF Cerebus Conn0r, Mr.. George Cadwaader's
stables were first encountered, containing some
excellent stock, among them Alice Mitchell,
very promising two-yearold chestnut fllly, now be-
ing held or for the Spring event; Fanny M, q
e-year0ld rather unfortunate at Saratoga last
