SPRING RACES.—The Spring Races will commence at the Glenbrook Course on May 24th. ...
The track has been put in splendid condition and the proprietor, Chas. H. Osborn, will spare no pains to
give general satisfaction.
COMING BACK.—A dispatch was received yesterday from Mrs. John Blasauf [Mary], stating that
she would leave on the steamer which starts from New York today, for San Francisco. Her old friends will
heartily welcome her back.
MAY CELEBRATION.—We understand that the May celebration has been postponed on account

THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1866
GEN. Grant and the Presidency.—The Galena (Illinois) Daily Gazette of March 14th, notices the
nomination of Gen. Grant for the Presidency by a Republican meeting in Rochester, N.Y. It says that Gen.
Grant is a soldier and not a politician, that he has taken no part with either Congress or the President as
against the other, and that his opinions must be gathered from his official acts. .. .
DISTRICT COURT, May 2d. [Henry] Pyrmont vs [Elizabeth] Pyrmont. John Kendall appointed
referee to take testimony and report the same to the Court.
Antonio R. Neves, a native of the Azores, declared his intentions to become a citizen.
FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1866
MEADOW LAKE.—We learn from this mining region in our county, that a meeting was held
last week, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of organizing a Stock Board. A.
C. Whitman, a well-known lawyer, from Virginia City, was elected chairman. The subject was fully
discussed and the meeting adjourned to Saturday evening, when it is thought the organization will be
completed.
A theatrical company is playing every evening at Meadow Lake, and drawing good houses.
The election of town officers takes place on the first Monday in June. Only twenty-eight candidates
for the office of Marshal, sixteen for Assessor, and twenty-seven for Treasurer. . .. The population is
increasing very fast, most from the State of Nevada. We predict in about six weeks it will be the liveliest
place in the State.
The snow is melting very rapidly.
INTERESTING.—“Old Block,” (A. Delano of Grass Valley,) has recently visited Nicaragua, where
he received the kindest treatment from the people. His descriptions of the country and the people are
given in a series of letters to the Sacramento Union. They are very interesting, as is everything from the
pen of “Old Block.”
