The Louisiana Jockey Club.

Allusion has already been made by this
paper to an extraordinary letter whic ap-
peared some two weeks ago in the TurJ,
Field and Farm, cond -mnatory of the Louis
lana Jockey Club, and Mandatory of well
known turtle. When it is considered that
the writer of that letter is member of the
club condemned. as has since transpired,
and his motives are understood by his asso-
ciates, but little is left to be said on the
sufject. As stated in a previous article, the
sole grievance appears to have been the
pOstponement for one week of the last
spring meeting. In taking this action
the principal owners Of stables were
consulted, the interest of the club
cared for. and Che wishes Of tie
entire public gratiied. IL is admitted
that postponing race may som etimes
work injury to participants; horses can not
be kept too long in training, and engage
ments on other courses must be met. In
this instance, whereof all the compl amt is
made, if anybody suffered it was assuredly
the gentleman who has been most as sailed.
Mr.. l.. A. Hitchcock, over his own sigma
ture, in letter published in the Spirit Of
the Times. sets at rest for ever the vexed
question. and shows that the chan &c of
date was not opposed BY any turfman
whose horses were entered at the NEE ting.
As far Is the Matairie Jockey Club is con-
cerned, no one. however captions, would
seek to pluck one leaf from their
laurel wreath OF honor. That the
old Matairle course is now a GENE terry
is simply the result Of real estate trans
action. The owners Of the property had
never made money, and during the three
fna! years Of the Metairie Club manage
men: actually found themselves required
to make good deficit Of revenue am cunt
ing to sl2 900. The Metairie Club disbanded
from lack of vitality and resources.
The Louisiana Jockey Club was then
formed by several public.,pirited citizens.
who were unwilling that the glory OF
the Louisiana turf should forever fade.
The Louisiana Jockey Club now NUN
bers nearly six hundred members. The
last spring meeting was mos. successful,
both as to the financial result and the spor:
offered. Ii that fact were not suite lent TO
prove the efficiency of the stewards and other
officers, the unanimous re election of all the
gentlemen at a subsequent meeting will
furnish overwhelming evidence.
In recurring to the subject of this most in.

News from tho INTERIOR
From the Shreveport Southwesteym- 7ele-
gram, June 8:
Last Saturday morning a school teacher,
named Charles Perkins, residing near Fair.
field, appeared Before Justice L. E. Carter
and made affidavit that one Dan Jackson
had stolen some clothing from him. Justice
Carter. not having an officer at hand, swOre
in Perkins as special constable, and armed
him with a warrant to proceed to the house
of one Jake Hudson on Hog Thief Point,
where Dan jackson was supposed to be, aa
he was in HudsOn's employ. and make the
arrest. Perkins summoned posse to assist
him, consisting of Ben Wright, Felix Win.
berly, Clark johnson and Amos Signer. Tbs
posse reached the locality of HudsOn'a
cabin in the midst of the terrible storm that
prevailed on Saturday night. A short dis.
lance from the house they met man named
Simms, and asked where Hudson was, and
we're informed that he was at home. The
posse then proceeded down the road, and
Simms, seeing all the parties armed, took
short cut to Hudson's house and informed
him of armed men coming after him, and
remarked, "there is going to be blood
spilled tonight just at this time the
pOssy reached the house and deplOyed theme
selves, and called for Hudson to come out,
they wanted to see him, but he refused to
they were not going to hurt HIM, but had
in their possession warrant for the arrest
of Dan jackson. At this time Perkins, in
his statement, says he and Ford advanced
toward the house, and just as the lightning
flashed, a tremendous y0lley was fired, AM.
both OF them were shot-the latter fatally,
having since died. Hudson, in his statement,
says his house was fired into first, and his
wife, who was lying on the floor. came hear
being shot After the shooting o.. Geary,
who lives near, heard the grOans of the
wounded men, and had them conveyed to
his residence, from whence he brought
them to their homes, on the Wall pool place,
cary Sunday morning. Ford died on
Monday between one and two, and Corr
oner Human held an inquest over the body.
The jury returned a verdict that Ford
came to his death by shots received from
a gun in the hands of some one in the house
of Jake Hudson. Perkins is dangerously
wounded, having ten buckshot in his right
arm and breast, but it is thought he will
recover. Jake Hudson was arrested and
placed in Jail; and Dan jackson, the cause
of this unfortunate affair, has not been Sc.
cured, nor is it known whether no was at
HudsOn's house on the night Of the saoOt-
ing. All the parties to the affair are coloredy
and some of them hard working and 5aM
abiding citizens.
