Those who wish to have a day of pleasant
sport and fun and enjoy good dinner, will no
doub, find them all on the tournament grounds
on the Fourth and we see nc reason why
large number Of gentlemen should not
encourage these efforts of our coored friends
to engage in manly sports and building
churches by being present on that occasion.
They have every arrangement mads, they
inform us, to make visitors comfortable and
pleasant. They have separate tables for the
white and colored people to ca, at, and have
arranged the seats so that the white people
can sit on one side cf The track and the colored
people on the other, and will no doubt, with
the valuable assistance of Messrs. Liddell
and Summeriin, who have kindly promised
to be present and assist succeed in preserving
perfect order. The tournament grounds are
in the old Stivers field about halfa mile above
