Interest in the coming spring meet
ing of the Jockey Club, which begins
in about ten days, continues to in
trease, and horse talk can be heard in
almost any gathering about the clubs,
at the hotels or on the street corners.
Turfmen are arriving almost daily,
and the hotels expect big rush, all
the railroads leading into the city hav-
ing made reduced rates. The Nash
vile Union of yesterday says A Union
reporter last night met Mr.. John ].
Carter, who has been home for three
days, and succeeded in getting quite a
fund of information from him. He
states that none Of the New Orleans
horses will likely be here, as the meet
ing at that point commences Saturday
next, and lasts a week. Memphis will
probably furnish no horses either, as
the meeting there begins in the mid
die of the Nashville meeting. The
reason for this conflict is that Lent
comes 80 late this year, and
the New Orleans people being
great observers OF it, the New Or
leans meeting was fixed so that the
first day only falls in that season.
Neither Nashville nor Memphis could
afford TO wait for the close Of the
Southern meeting, as the horses have
important engagements in Kentucky
and North. Nashville, however, is
doing remarkably we'll. Fine strings
of horses are already here and several
are on the road. Among those now
here may be mentioned the following
