SATURDAY EyENISG.-Thc sporting portion
of our community will be quite disappoint-
ed and not little surprised to learn that on
Saturday evening the Fair-Grounds was the
scene of one Of the most spirited horse-races
of the Kind (amateur) ever run in these parts.
It was witnessed only by the three judges
Mcssrs. Barton HaXall Cole Lewis, ard
Rutfin-two confidential friends OF the gen.
tlemcn entering the horses, and Dispatch
reporter. who, ensconced in corner OF the
grand stand. remained an unobseryed and
amused spectator Of the race.
The entries were two" Sitting Bull"
b. s., by Mr.. Merritt Crenshaw, and Mr..
James Vests e. 6. Scar-Faced Charley. Y
challenge had passed between the gentle
men, and by q prcarranged plan they were
to meet on the FAIRGROUNDS with the few
friends before mentioned on Saturday eve
ming, the winning horse to receive purse
of So for single dash OF two miles.
Upon the call OF the Judges the owner OF
Scar-Faced Charley did not respond, and MIR.
John Cross was accepted as substitute to
ride for that gentleman, who was obliged TO
be absent on account OF Il pressing engage
ment.
A beautiful start was made, Sitting Bull
taking the pole from the quarter stretch,
which he kept with ease through the first
mile. AS they neared the judges stand Sit
ting Bull came in beautifully; and there
was a calm but determined expression upon
the countenance of his rider rs with yell
and frantic gesture he spurred his gallant
steed past the stand, that spoke volumes.
1t said shall win or perish in the attempt,
and he did win. In vain did Scar-Faced
Charley come to the chase with redoubled
yipor: in vain did Mr.. Cross WELD his car
riaee whip with wonderful deXterity. Sit
ting Bull had too much bottom for him, and
having once got the heels on him the race
WAS his.

THE APPROACHING THEATRICAL SEASON.
pr w III po1raIpo cupopqa laat voor M tbo

THE APPROACHING THEATRICAL SEASON.
Mr.. w. T. PowelPs success last year at the
Theatre has induced lhim,to make renewed
efforts for this season; and has tempted him
to make n considerabieop outlay in a number
OF minor improvements which, although
not very striking, ~ add considerably to
the comfort of thos 30 will patronize that
place OF amusement this winter. But the
most important. fact connected with his sue
cess is that he has secured for tile season a
number of celebrities who will no doubt
draw crowded houses.
The improvements consist Of general
renovation OF the building; few coats of
paint on the walls, ceiling, end pillars; q
new carpet for the dress circle, and, where
needed, new mating will be put down in
the paruuet. In addition to the heating ar
rrangements of last year, he'will put in two
new stoves and set in register in the lobby
near the entrance to the parquet.
Among the celebrities who have already
been secured and theirtimes fixed are Sol
dine, IN eminent opera-bouffe artistic; Mrs.
James A. Oates and her Comic-Opera Com
pany; John f. Owenss Caroline Isichings
and her newly-organized Opera Company,
numbering about forty persons; Madame
Janauschek, who, by the way, has already
been mentioned; Aimee and her company ;
Miss Neillson, one Of the most beautiful
women on the stage; Mrs. D. p. Bowers
and her celebrated company; Miss Kellogg
and her English Opera Troupe.
Mr.. Powell is also incorrcspondence with
the business manager Of the .Italian Opera
Company and other distinguished artists.
Mrs. Chanirnu will also be in Richmond
during the season. In addition to the ar
fists named above there will be number oi
excellent travelling companies at the Thea.
ire at various times during the winter, and
it is expected that there will be Mt no time a
lack Of agreeable entertainments there. The
season will open on the 18th Of September,
when the Humpty Dumpty Troupe will
appear.
Mr.. Powell has lately been in correspon-
dence with George E. Avery, OF Haverhll,
Mass, who wanted one of his "stars" to
come TO Richmond and give an entertain
ment on Sunday at the Theatre. He styled
it q Religious Seance, or Illustrated Lee
ture or Spectacle" He wanted to know in
his letter whether the authorities would
permit Sunday performance OF the kind,
and stated that he would come endorsed by
many well-known ministers.
Mr.. Henry Ward Beecher's agent, or,
rather, the cred Path Lyccum," which
concern makes engagements for the revc-
rend gentleman. has written once or twice
to Powell, and wants him to pay 5000 per
night to Beecher for a lecture, $1,000 for
two nights, and "local expenses" AIr.
Powell will hardly accept these terms.
