Broad Rock Races.

--The friends of the turf, despite the Yankee invasion, have determined to maintain the supremacy of "thoroughbreds," and, to that end, will commence a fall meeting at Broad Rock to-day. As our readers will perceive, the first race is for a post stake, two-mile heats, to which there are three or more subscribers; and as the race is play or pay, each subscriber will be almost sure to start something for the $7,000 purse.

We have heard it suggested that Oakland, Conductor and Orien, will come together on this occasion; and if so, the friends of each will go their "piles" on the result, as all are sanguine of winning. If the three "strip" well, and the day and track prove good, an interesting and exciting race may be looked for.
