The fall meeting Of the Nashville BLOOD
Horse Association commenced YESTERDAY
under the most favorable circumstances
the weather being all the most fastidiOus
could have wished for and the track in
splendid condition. The attendance was
quite large for the first day, except in the
ladies' department, which was only fairly
niled. The Kentuckians are here in full
force with both horses and money, and
back their opinions quite freely.
In pools sold this morning ON first race
Katie Pearce was the first choice, the field
second, Cheatham's entry third, Bob Wool
ley and LO0a alternating as fourth and
hfth- AT the track betting changed some
what. Katie Pearce sold as first, and Van
Dorm, whOthis morning sold in the field,
went as second choice. The others were
unchanged.
| FIRST RACE.
The colts started very badly After
twelve false starts, Gen. BufOrd took the
position Of starter in Mr. COckrill's place.
He ordered one Of the trainers off the track,
and was eheered for so doing. On the ff-
teenth start Trey got off well together, with
the fayOrite, Katie Pearce, in the lead,
which position she maintained with ease
TO the end, winning the race handily, w. G..
HardiDg'S ch. c. VentelatOr second, 7. j.
McGibbon's ch- c. Asteroid third.
1 Time, 1:455.
| SECOND RACE.
First heat.-After one false start the
colts got off tolerably well together,
Ella G.. leading and maintaining that posi-
/ ton until reaching the half mile pole,
where they commenced to bunch, but be-
fore reaching the home stretch they were
scattered, Hazem, the fayOrite, winning
the heat by six lengths.
Time 1:47.
Second heat.-Hazem led off and held
this position to the end, but closely pressed
by Fairplay. Coming down the home
stretch Fairplay and Kiiburn made play
for the lead, but it was plain to be seen
that Hazem had it all his own way, and
won the heat and race under pull, Fair
play close up.
Time 1:4Ss.
At the pool stand business was quite
lively, but the Kentuckians were again the
faFOrites, Hazem selling at two for one
over the other starters as a field.
THIRD RACE.
This was the most exciting event of the
day. The horses got good start and kept
well together, coming under the string on
the FIRST turn with Elk Horn and Astral
side by side, the others well up. This pO-
sition remained unchanged until nearing
the three-quarter pole, when King Pynn
pushed forward and coming down the
home stretch, he had a hard tustle with
Elk Horn, and here foul occurred. After
mature deliberation the Judges gave de-
cision against Elk Horn in favor of King
Pynn, which decision was received with
cheers from all, and cries of ''gOOd Every
one will get justice on the Nashville
Course"
The race was given to King Pynn and
Elkhorn ruled out.
Time, 2:13.
The pools sold at this race were at the
following average:
EIkhOrn 500, Noll Sl6O, Astrall $50,
King Pynn SIG.
