LOUISVILLE, May 20.-TO-day's meet
ing Of the Louisville Jockey Club was by
ali odds, the most successful of the week.
Before the time for commencing the races,
every seat in the grand field stands was
crowded to oyerflOwing, while the center
field along the quarter stretch was thrOnged
with carriages, and the clubhouse, lawn
and every available space was occupied by
a black and surgiDg mass Of Humanity.
Long before the start, the tickets gave ont
aud visitors were Obliged TO select any
standing room possible. The attendance
was variously estimated at from 1900 to
10000, and it is generally acknowledged
that the largest crowd was present ever as
sembled for a similar occasion in the
Southwest.
The running was particularly fine, the
first race, for three year-Olds, being the best
race for the weights ever run in the United
States. The contest for the Louisville cup,
a handsome piece of plate Of exquisite de-
sign and valued at $1,000, was an exciting
one, Ballankeel winning by two open
lengths. AfteTward he was led before the
judges stand and given a drink ont Of the
cup, amid great cheers from the crowd. Il
is thought that the total pools sold during
the day have apprOXimated 100000.
The first race was one mile and repeat,
for the Falls City stake, for three year-Olds
that had not appeared in public prior to
January, 1870, closed with IS entries, and
Of this number seven started, as follows:
Enfield, by Enquirer; Warsaw, by War
Dance; Efie Moore, by Lee Paul; Camsr-
90, by Jack Malone; Worcester, by Con
cord; Bashfori's brown haywood colt, and
Ascension, by Australian.
In the pools CamargO was first choice,
Ascension second and BasbfOrd's third, the
rest being in the field. Bobby Swimm
rode the fayorite. CamargO won both
heats in splendid time, defeating Ascension
in each by a head only.

roid; Astral, by AsterOid; BigfellOw, by
War Dance; King Pin, by Australian, and

Astral got off in the lead, but Ballankeel
soon took position at his side, leaving him
after a distance and coming home easily.
During the first quarter, the rider Of Har-
per's Excel, to avoid a possible collision,
suddenly pulled his horse to one side,
throwing him. Excel got on his feet
again and finished the race riderless, com
ing in next TO last.
