TIE srnrxa RACEs

The prospect Is good that the sprine
races here will BE- . perfect success.
Ouite : number Of outside horses have
already arrived, which should insure
ths filiing Of every race. There are
FOOD many local horses that have been
nut to the test and pronounced ready;
The secretary, Mr.. Ayrss, is busy ana
hs and the other officers will doubtless
leave nothing undons to make the races
. success. Isl,
Richmond is large enough to establish
4 race association, and should have one
which would be . credit to the State.
The lovers Of good horses are anxious
10 do what they can, and all that Is
needed is . fair patronage at the gate:
Mr.. walsh's gray mare Luiau y
is the favorite in some quarters as 70
speed. while the fiye-year-old gelding
. Richmond of Colonel Darlington
has few friends that think he can take
her into camp easily and are willing to
verify their judgment.
Mr.. T. NJ. Hewitt has arrived with
his great four-year.old "Roy" and
tbree.yesr.old "Snowdrop." The for
mer is a fast horse. and all expect to
see some Of the so class lower their
colors if he starts therein.
There are rumors that Ozark
horse" has appeared from Petersburg
in the shape Of three-year'old lilly,
which has shown wonderful trials. 1t
is hoped that her owner will start her
in the four-y ear-old race. If so, and
Dame Rumor is correct, "Roy" will
20 to the half-milc' pole at terrible
clip. and must finish at the same rate.
There will be hard fight in the 1881
class, as the bay mare Z" Kentucky
Gnl,n from Goldsboro', N. O., is here
which will keep "Lulau" and Rich
mond ~ busy looking after the first
place. An eye is upon one or two
others for this race, but nothing definite
is known Of them.
The races begin Tuesday the 18th, and
will be continued the 5th.
1t is rumored that there will be q
good many horses in the running races
though no entries have been made as

with very few exceptions was a
mere makeup, without expectation
of success, and therefore with little
care in its composition. If such ca
