28 The American Thoroughbred 



ing the Course, which is arranged with stables, 

 to accommodate in the most convenient and eco- 

 nomical manner all who visit Charleston with 

 horses from distant States. 



" The Races over our Course are well patron- 

 ized, season after season, by owners of some of the 

 best stock on the American Turf; likewise many 

 lovers of the sport, 'for itself alone,' never fail, 

 from year to year, to put in an appearance from 

 distant points, as ^/le days of promise come round. 

 The proximity of our Race Ground, too, to the 

 city — (in fact, it is now a portion of the city itself, 

 by a late annexation bill) — offers great tempta- 

 tions and facilities to all of our own good people 

 disposed to participate in the sport, to go out 

 whenever the weather is at all inviting. From 

 these circumstances, and the numberless agremens 

 incident to our meetings, the Races are generally 

 well attended, having a charm for many others 

 besides those who are altogether absorbed in the 

 appearance and performances of the horses. 



" The Races commence on the first Wednesday 

 in February of every year, and continue through- 

 out the week.
