Louisiana Jockey Club.

4 visit to the Fair Grounds and stables
Of the Louisiana Jockey Club showed US
everything in the best possible order. The
track is in splendid condition, and the drive
thither excellent. Should the present fine
weather only continue, the fall meeting
will be most exciting and agreeable. There
are at present on the ground about fifty
horses, but several stables that have en-
tered have not as yet put in an appearance.
The following is LIST of the flyers that are
already here:
Captain George II. Rice has Moonbeam,
Vortex and Stamped, two year olds; Jim
Crow, three years old, and Wanderer, four
years old. Captain Rice has been obliged
to withdraw from training his fine horse
John Mccormick, on account of a slight
hurt, received while exercising.
Jennings has Cape Race, Silent Friend,
Larry Hart and another, name unknown.
Mr.. Jennings has also the well known
horse Defender, that ran here some two
years ago. being the property Of John Nor
rissey. Mr.. Jennings has withdrawn De-
fender altogether from the turf, and will
either cell him or put him in the stud.
Captain Stone. of Mobile, has brought
over four horses, Colonel Neuigan, 0 U,
Meta H. and two-year old bay flly.
Mr.. John c. Lacey, of Illinois, has his
bay gelding General Palmer, by Jack Ma
lone. dam Dixie, by imp. Revenue; also the
bay gelding Captain keedee, by Major Ring
gold, dam Talma, by imp. Glencoe.
Mr.. G. B. Morris has two fine horses,
Nellie R., by Lightning, dam by Mahomet,
and Edwin Adams, by Planet, dam by Lex
ington.
Mr.. E. Harrison's stable contains Vidal,
Fred Bonnabel and a three year old, name
| unknown.
Mr.. w. Cottrill has six lively two year
olds, as follows: Planter, by Planet, dam
by Lexington; Bonaventure, by Harry OF
the West, dam Maggie g.; Lottie Moore, by
Australian. dam by Lexington; Romping
Girl, by Jack Malone, dam Fannie Meal
lister. Besides these he has Matte Ross
and Bay Run, whose pedigree we did not
learn.
Mr.. A. Bonnabers stable comes next, and
is entitled to more than usual considera
tion, not only on account of the excellence
OF his stock, but from the fact that all o,
his racers are born and bred right here
There is Astrapee, gray, three years old
by Lightning, dam by imported Sovereign
Astrapee is acknowledged by all who have
ever seen his sire to be perfect reproduc
ti0n of that noble horse. Astrapee will
make name in our turf annals, or we very
much mistake his looks and noble blood
Astrapee, it will be remem bered, was the
winner of the two year old stake last year
at the Natchez races A fitting mate and
companion of Astrapee is Mr.. Bonnabel's
Ramses, by King Lear. dam Miss Music, by
Whale. Ranises is a three year old of cen.
siderable promise and excellence. Then
there is the two year old flly Sweet Bay.
by Bayswood, dam La Bruno. We look fol
a good account from this. our New Orleans
stable .
But the prettiest thing Of all that we
saw was the sucking colt Alboraiz. This is
the little beauty that has taken all the
prizes at the last two State fairs. Her sire
is Little Mac, also owned by Mr.. Donnabel
Little Mac has been put in the stud by Mr..
Bonnabel, and it all his get be equal to
Alborak, we may confidently look for some
fine flyers couple Of seasons from now.
Mr.. A. Turner has three fine speci-
mems of the equine race. First, there is
Tom Aiken, four year old, winner of the
two mile heats at Nashville short time
ago. Then there are two beauties, two
year olds, Jim Alexander and Parolee.
Mr., George Cadwallader has Fanny NJ, a
tour year old, by Lightning, dam by York
shire, and Florine, by Lexington, dam by
Weatherwitch, who was own sister to Little
Mac. Florine is four years old, and we
await her performance here with great con-
fdence. Phisto, four year old bay geld
ing, is also in the stable Of Mr.. Cad
wallader.
1t will thus be seen from the above that
our fall meeting will not lack interest for
want of gallant contestants.
