There were brilliant representatives of the beauty and taste of our own fair State and of many € her sister States. There were besides Louisiana belles And beauties, belles and beauties from Alabama, Missis- pipni aud Kentucky, who ali took a most praiseworthy terest im the incidents of the occasion. The presence pf Indios bas always a benign influence—but we nave or seen it more pieasingly executed than in the pre- stance. There were a great many of our most Oitinguished citizens from all parts of the Southern country present, including Governors, Judges, Mayors, and otier officiale—not to name all of whom, if any, would seem invidious, and we cannot remember half of | them. Ex-President Fillmore and ex-Secretaries Kenne- dy and Conrad attracted and received a great deal of ‘at- tention, and wore politely invited by the judges of the | race to view it from the judges’ stand. They seemed to take much interest in the sport; and, in the intervals, in | the society of the distinguished company as embled in | the members and ladies’ stanis. There must hare been Fy def thousand persons within the enclosure of | the Metairie Course upon this great and interesting ocea- sion. Yet we never have sovn more perfect order pre- ®erved among a large body of men than that which pre- | vailed throughout the day. We were not cognizant of a single iction of the duty that one man owes to another in any single respect; no drunkenness, no dis- | putes, no quarrels, no unseemly or even boisterous remarks. | The incidents and results of this race we sabjoin. But in closing our necessarily very hasty and cursory general remarks, we cannot forbear noting the fact thai Old Ken- tucky had, and fully availed herself of, a glorious oppor- tunity of manifesting her characteristic State pride upon this occasion. It was inspiring to see the bright eyes of her daughters sparkling with joy, and to hear their ring- | ing laughs and exultant shouts,as the champion of their State was going on “ conquering aid to conquer” and adding another to the already many noble trophios that | have been gallantly won by Old Kentuck. And now to the incidents of the race. | The Judges’ stand was occupied by ex-President Fill- | More and several other distinguished strangers, besides | the judges of the race. The judges selected by the sub- | Beribers to the stake were as foliows:—Col. Wade Hamp- i was ‘oat ke judge chosen to represent Alabama; Col. J. | Hughes, for Louisiana; Mr. Robert Evans, for Ken- tacky Judge Pinckney Smith, for Mississippi, and Judge J. G. Cocks, the President of the Metairie Jockey Club, | previding. The The betting for several days previons to the raco and | yentecs jay morning in the city was brisk and heavy,High- | der being generally the first favorite and Lexington the second favorite. The field was frequently backed inst Highlander, at odds ot two toone. On arrivin, at the course the crowd for a time appeared to feel impa- tient, fearing that they could not have a chance to ont all their money. a Pocket books flew open ani for rf hour the betting was very lively, but not much changed from what ithad been. We heard many bets made as follo-s:—Even between Highlander and Lexington. $50 R100 that Highlander would take the first heat. There Ws, of course, a variety of bets concerning many minor points and the particular placing of the ho: The course was very heavy from the previous ra E the 5 e mud that it was very stiff and unyielding, clinging Jo the hoof with great tenacity. First Heat.—The horses came proudly up to the stand, Jad moved off without difficulty, well together, and ed around the firstturn in the following order:—Lex. Feta leading, Arrow second, Lecomte third, with High- lander trailing. In this position the first mile was run, all being within a fair distance of each other. On onter: | ing the second mile, Lecomte went up, and lnppei Le ington for a short distance, buf they all soon Fosomed their original position for the remainder of the second, 8nd the whole of the third mile, at about the same rate Of speed. On making the firet turn of the fourth mile, Arrow began to feel the effects of the heavy mud, and Mackened his speed, Highlander passing him, taking the third position, and gradually making up the gap between Bimelf and his two’ competitors. Lecomte, on coming home, pushed for the lead, but Lexington held his course steadily, and won the heat under a strong pull, by about three lengths, in 8:08)j, distancing Arrow. ‘The Kon- ituckians, Who are a famous people for shouting, gave a loud cheer for their favorite, and the betting people n to make new arrangements. Heat.—After much discussion on minor points, the betting now appeared to settle down to about two to one on Lexington against the field, Lecomte generally considered as the chief relianee of the fielders, Highlander’s friends were in bad spirits, but some of them contended that he had not yet exerted himself, that he ran nearly all the first heat far from the pole, and they therefore took up the odds offered against him. | On sta: for the second heat, Highlander took the Jead on the first turn, with arse second, but all well ther.

People must notanticipste that matters are at likely to follow the course they did during the Inte war, | when the wants of the government were supplied by suc- cessive loans, and prices were artificially raised by a vast issue of paper money. It would appear to be the policy | of the government of the day to make the existing gone- ration contribute largely, if not entirely, to the exigen. | cies of the time being; the effect of which will be felt in | | ‘a large increase of taxation, and a consequent diminution in the consuming power of every class in the country. Under such a state of things it is likely that the value of all articles but such as are used for the purposes of war, | willrather decline than advance.

Inthe meantime it must | be borne in mind that any uncertainty about the weather | as harvest approaches would cause immediate alarm, and | a reaction from present rates to higher prices. What | such a chance is worth is a matter of cpinion; in the meanwhile it is certain that, barring casualties, the ten- | dency of the grain market is towards lower prices.
