THE RUNNING MEETINGS.
There has been considerable inquiry Of late among
those interested in the runnng tnrf to when the
varcus spring meetings in The South and West were
manner tn which the managers Of the various tracks
have conducted their preparations. it has been i'm
possible until within very short time TO afford any
Information whatever npon TUG subject, but At last
the dates have been definitely fixed.
The hrst meeting Is that at New Orleans, which
commenced yesterday and continues during the
PEssent week there being sssnts on ne Tuesday l,y
eraulne and list Of entries for this meeting were
given in The TRIBUNE Of last Sunday: The next
meeting viii be that st Galveston; Tex, ~arsa sa
programme for this meeting has not yet been ar
ranged, the managers being anxious to ses the
effect Of the policy fnauEurated BY the New Orleans
Jockey Club, OF charging no entrance to the Club
purses 1t If probable that the MINORITY OF the
horses taking part in the New Orleans meeting
will be on hand when the fun begins at Galveston
- THE NASHVILLE MEETING,
which heg ins May l. will, however. be the first OF
the really great meetings. Situated rs Nashville
IL, in cloee proximity to the Kentucky bluc,sr
region. the fields OF horfes that will assemble will
be Of d much higher character than those to be
found earlier in the season at New Orleans and
Galveston, the latter being COMPOSED entirely OF
South and are. not capable Of high. class
performances. There are fifteen events to
be decided at the Nashville meeting, which
the others club purses. The Young America
Stakes. No. l, half mile dash for 2-year -olds.
and the Commercial Hotel Stakes, one.milc and
first day, and both have closed with large number
Of entries. The most interesting event on the sec:
ond day b sea e u cu rhsn M
Stakes. TO be run on the third day, promises some
rare sport, as there are thirty -olds en-
gagged, field from which II is impossible TO ptck a
winner. On the fourth day the Young America
Stakes, No. 2, will be contested, and the Belle
Meade Stakes.
