THE TUR r.
The Approaching Races-StabIes at
the COurse-ArrIVals Yesterday-A
Fine Prospect.

AAS n AOSK%OSs
The regular spring meeting of the Savan-
nah Jockey Club will commence on Tues
day next, the 18th inst, at the Tenbroeck
Course, and the expectations are that there
will be very fine racing, as there are
some noted flyers in the stables on the
grounds. On Saturday morning the repre-
sentative of the MORNING NEWS paid visit
to the course in company with the efficient
Secretary Of the club, DR.. r. 2. Myers.
In consequence of the extremely bad
weather the past two weeks the Augusta
road leading to the track is in terrible con-
dition nearly the entire way from the city
to HartlOge's store, at the junction with
the Louisville road. Even when In good
condition there has been objection urged
against this road in consequence of the dan
ger attending its use, as It runs parallel
with the Central Railroad track, upon
which trains are constantly passing, and the
liability to accident from horses running
away and vehicles upsetting is great
Fortunately there have in sea-
sons past been but few serious
accidents of this kind, but the ap-
prehension of accident has been the
subject of much discussion, especially
among those who own fast roadsters and
prefer going TO the course in their private We
hicles. For the benefit of these and all
Others we may state that there is a much
more desirable road by which the grounds
can be reached and which, although a little
longer route, is perfectly safe. This is the
route by Gwinnett street extended. The
road bed at present is in excellent condition,
there being but two or three bad places
from the city to the railroad crossing at the
junction of Augusta and Louisville roads,
and neither of them is very serious. Hav-
ing passed over this road Saturday,
We advise those who are going to the races
In private conveYances To use 1t in prefer
ence to the other.
