Sport.


versaton for the past week.
Every available vehicle was seized
upon to transport people to the
grounds, so that by the time an.
nounced for the beginning of the races,
an immense throng was present.
Many beautiful ladies lent n charm ia
the scene, and their bright smiles and
eager looks showed that they, too,
shared in the general feeling of inter
est and excitement.
About 2 O'Clock, the guest Of the day,
General BraXton Bragg, escorted by II
committee of citizens, the whole pre-
ceded by brass band, arrived on the
ground, and was introduced to the AS
scmblage by his honor, General
Cabell, in few appropriate remarks,
to which he responded rs follows:
EricndSdnd CoWnirynici, Ld,iicS anu GcnHcmcn
i am before you most unexpectedly ana In
novel position, but the door for retreat
(never overlooked by an Old soldicrj is open
to inc through your generosity.
We are taught by high and old authority,
that "tne proper study OF mankind Is man."
but this, like most scntentiOus aphorisms,
must not be taken in Il literal or limited
sense. We must extend our Investigations
and our laDors Il mans necessities, among
the greatest of which we shall find the ami
mai creation with which II Incrcful and
b0untiiul Providence has surrounded us.
The object of your association Is one of the
noblest as II Is one Of the most benefcent.
After the duty to our Creator and to ourselves
indeed blended with tlIese-conIes the duty
to those creatures God has given us as an in
.heritance.
The acceptance Of that inheritance impos-
les upon us II duty rs binding and sacred us il
the care and nurture of the children given 10
,Our affections.
That such organizations have been pros
iituted 10 low ends ana bad purposes Is no
argument against them. All institutions are
liable 10 pcrvcrSiOn. The most sacred call
ings and duties have been sclndaliEtI an /
degraded las far rs fallen man can degrade
sacred ,things-but thr right and the duty re-
main unchanged.
ain the beginning God created the heaven |
and the earth" "Aud God said Let the |
earth bring forth the living creature after his |
kind, cattle and creeping things, ana !
it was So" "And God made the beast OF tn
eartli and the cattle after their kind, aud
God saw that it 'OtS good" 'AnI God said
iet us make man III our Image amer our
likeness, and jet him have dominion over
the Hsh OF the sea, ana over thc FOWL OF the
air, ana over the cattle and over
all lhe earth so Hod created man IN
his O'Ch image, in the image
of God, created he him ; male and female
created ne theih'
And God gave to man dominion over every
living thing that movcth upon the earth.
No duty can he more binding or more
sacred than the execution of this trust COM
mitted to us by n Mrrciful and All Use
Creator. In the Inauguration of your enter
prise, then, let me impress upon you the
duty Of obeying the Divine injunction and
the obedience to Gods will in All you do.
The prostitution of your enterprise TO dis
sipatlon and immoralitieS may contribute
to the enjoyment OF temporary animal
pleasures, but must finally result in II failure
to accomplish the great object in view. And
no one step can so surely lead to success, us
the participation OF women, the promoter
and defender of all that is good, in your
pleasures and your cares. EXpcl her, IL makes
no difference how, from your counscls
and your cares, or even render her presence !.
impossible by dissipation or immoralitics ,,
and the end is near.
