a6 = as ee LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. A Nationan Jocegy Ciutat Wasnixoton — The subjeet of the establisbment of such an in- stitution—all things are institutions “now a’ days’’—is attracting even more attention among turfites abroad than at home, as much as It is dis- cussed among our friends prone to be seen of afternoons behind fast ‘uns far out on Fourteenth street. A correspondent of “ Porter’s Spirit of the Times’ places the subject in a light wherein it should command attention from all hete—as follows : “D. PL” ON A NATIONAL JOCKEY CLUB AT WasH- INGTON. Wasnineton City, Oct. 19. Gexttexex : Public attention bas been fre- quentiy directed to the importance of having a “Jockey Club’ established at this place. Whether weshall succeed in getting one, is rather problematical; bat I sincerely hope we never shall have an institution of that kind unless it be oue of the very first class. Let us have no Jockey Club at all unless we cam have such a one as would be creditable to the nation, and a promi- neat embellishment of the Federal Metropolis. Having long ago most reluctantly abandoned all hope of ever seeing such a club here, I ven- tured to advocate the early establishment of a well regulated racing organization at Richmond And I must now say, in all candor, that my only hope, in that » Still lingers around that time-honored racing locality. But I am, nevertheless, confident that we have im this city and its vicinity all the materials requisite for sach ‘a Joe! =? Club” as is impera- tively demanded by the Spirit of the Times. It may be of rather questionable propriety to use the names of distinguished gentlemen in this counection; but as it has been already done by others. I feel impelied to follow the example, for once only ifsach gentlemen as Col. WW. Corcc ran, Gen. George Gibson, Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, Esq : and other prominent residents in private life, and ethers of great official distinction. would take the tter in band. we would very soon have a Club the like of which has never existed in this coun- try. Ido not mean that the whole burden of the undertaking should fall upon their shoulders. They would at once attract powerful and most congenial auxiliaries by scores and hundreds. ‘The very elite of the accomplished and wealthy circles of Ma:yland and Virginia would come to their ald, and by their counsels and coatributions make the whole enterprise anything but burden- some or oppressive. Should a meeting of such gentlemen ever be in- vited, they could not doa better thing than to consult I. B. Living, Esq., of South Carolina. He could give them suggestions and advice that would absolutely invaluable. Indeed, if he would consent to take the position, they could not do « better thing than to make him their perma- nent Secretary, to conduct their cori dence, aud to have charge of ali matters of etail, and the current and constantly accumulating business of the Club placed in his experienced and accom- piished hands. He would preserve its affairs in a sonnd and intelligible condition. and keep the Association out of a world of trouble. It must be kept in mind that 1 am — about ‘‘a national institution,’’ of real magni- tude, of enduring basis, and to be inherently and exclusively under thecontrol of gentlemen Such a Club would reguire a capital of not less than fifty thousand dollars to in with, A suitable tract of land would have to be purchas- ed, and graded properly. ‘There must be an ap- propriate club-house, public and private stands, and all sach fixtures and appointments as woul conduce to the comfort, and comport with the presence of thousands of refined ladies and ac- complished gentlemen. Vulyarity and ruttian- ism would. of course, be exclu from the in- elasure, and no scenes permitted that could shock purity or taste ‘What would be the results of such an institu- tig as that? One great poiut gained would be ate horse-racing. Taking it for granted t purses and stakes would be of the most attractive character, we would have contending nags of the best blood and speed from all the ra- cig regions of the United States. At each of these race meetings, we should have in this city, on’ a week's visit, not less than five thousand strangers of wvalth and respectability. How much gouey would such a congregation as that leave in the pockets of the people of this metro- polis! Certainly not less than #50,000; and how much more, “the tall son of York’? alone can tell. How much money could the Messrs. Brown and the Messrs. Willard afford to subscribe to an institution which would cram their mammoth hotelx with ladies and gentlemen of the very first class? How much could our prominent’ mer- chants subscribe, when, at least once or twice a year, their stores would be almost emptied by the cash demands of thousands of strangers from the contiguous neighborboods How many people do you think could be con- giegated in Washington, on tue occasion of a match race of four miles aud repeat, between two of the best nags to be chosen in England and the United States? Fifty thousand strangers, of the right grit. would swarm in upon as. and leave twice as many dollars behind em. Does any- body wish a better paying institution than that? Everybody knows that great national matches are now abselutely unavoidable. The war has begun. Up to this time it has been nothing but American defeats That very fact will only give renewed vigor and intensity of determination to the Americau forees. The result will be the es- tablisiment of a permanent American stable in England, and a permanent British stable in the United States. Io this chivalrie and nobie con- tention the population of both countries will in- tensely sympathize: and we shall have snch rac- ing excitements as the world has never yet be- held. We shall have a secies of return matches, anda suecession of victories and defeats, until jegitimate horse-racing shall become, as it onan to be, one of the most glorious American institu- tions Seeing all Luese things, as I certainly do, | must yet candidly confess that | see not even one ray of Lope that the Great American Jockey Club” will be located within fifty miles of Washington city! You may readily admit that innumerable Jocal, sortal, national, and even political consid- indicate this as the spot where these great tests should come off, but they are all power- Jess in its behalf. it is aterial how much glorious sport we would or how much bard money we would make by having the Club here; it is little less than fatuity to hope for it.

The boats ronning between Washington and Alexaod:ia are very much annoyed by bands of rowdies who pess daily between the two cities Early this week a party of five nice young men weut from our city to Alexandria on the Page, and took 4 turn through Alexandria market, where they purchased a large piece of raw beef, which they cu o slices and came on board eating like so many savages. The engineer sug- gested to them that the lunch would be much more palatable if gs were to cook it a little; whereupoa he was taken up very sharply by the party, whe advised bim to eat his meat as he iked it and not interfere with their mode of feed- ing. ‘The engiueer, observing demonstrations of a hostile character about them, + came down.’ it is supposed they eat their meat raw thus, after the fashion of prize fighters, to “improve their musele”* The operations on the Washington and Alex- andiia Railroad are going on swiftly under the auspices of Col French.

A lady lost her rtemonnaie, and a gentleman‘s pocket, contain ng $950, was cut out by athief in the crowd outside of the grounds.

Lanevace.—The old law of Maryland requires all magistrates to impose a fine on any person giving utterance to profane language in their presence; the fines thus im- osed to be collected, and paid over to the Levy Jourt. It would seem that the provision of the law has been very much ueglected heretofore, but the treasurer of the Levy Coart (N.
