AS the time draws near for the
approaching races on the old Fair
Grounds, now owned by Mrs. EIice
Schmalinski, the excitement grows
more intense. Already there are
quartered on the grounds, with ex-
pectatons Of more, several stables of
thoropghbreds. Mr.. Chas. Wells, of
Bayou Boueff has in training his two
colts, respectively two and three
years old, oat of Gold Niue by War
path. Mr.. Eckels, ofNatchez, Miss,
has Iieveral flyers, among them a
lighting quarter nag. Lucy Hinton,
a Cape Race filly, is being trained by
parties in Town, and if rumor be

when it was discovered that one of the
shootists could shoot or see no more.
In creeping up on Mr.. Gar he bad

and just as he was about to cut down
