Memphis Races.
SPRING MEErING-sEcoND DAY.


Old Sol broke forth with all his splendor,
and a truly beautiful morning ushered in the
second day of our Spring Races" The
trains from the Charleston Depot were throng-
ed. and the roads to the course filled with We
hicles of all denominations. By one o'clock
there could not have been less than from four
to five thousand persons on the track, and
the appearance was gay in the extreme. The
course was in much finer condition than the
day before, and everything betokened glori-
Gus day pleasure.
The pools that were sold the night before
gave a hint to the 8 outsiders " as to which
was the best nag, and great deal of money
was bet upon Bill Alexander for the " Bradley
stake" he having been the first choice with
all the pool purchasers. In the morning the
betting commenced "even on Bill against any
other horse" after which there were several
who backed him at evens against the field,
and as the time approximation saddllng some
little was done at ten to eight, and almost on
the tap of the drum there were two or three
offers of 500 to $40 on his winning the race,
but they met with no repoDse.
At ten minutes to one the horses were on
the ground, and by quarter past, the jockies
were in their saddles and at the starting post;
but considerable delay was occasioned by
Ran Berry, Ambassador and Bill Alexander
breaking away and running up the course
before the Wagner colt was prepared to start.
They were called back, but in vain-the AM
bassador and Ran Berry gallOping completely
round the course before they could be pulled
up, and on their return to the judges stand
the iockies were ordered TO dismount, and an
interval of ten minutes allowed.
All being again in readiness, beautiful
start was effected, Bill Alexander taking the
lead, closely followed by Ambassador, Ran
Berry third and the Wagner colt last. In
this order they ran the first half mile, when
Ran Berry collared the filly, passed her and
pushed the horse into the hOme-stretch; when
notwithstanding the use of persuasive argu
ments." Bill left her and passed the
string three lengths ahead, Ambassador being
close on Ran Berry's quarters. Wagner saved
his distance, but seemed not to have any
| chance in the heat. Time, l:5l4.
Second Heat-The horses were cooled OF
we'll and were once more ready for action
! Bets Of one hundred to thirty were freely
| offered, but there were no takers. Tap g0e
the drum and away they go-Ambassado
| with a slight lead, Bill Alexander second
| Ran Berry third. and Wagner again in thu
| rear. Bill soon took first place, and led at ;
| good pace. On entering the back-stretci
| Wagner began gradually to gain on the fore
most horses. and by the time they had reached
the last quarter (on coming into sight roun'
the turn( he had passed both Ambassado
and Ran Berry, AID was forcing Bill hard
| Whip and spur now went to work, and Bill
was landed the winner by three lengths
Wagner being about six lengths ahead of RAJ
| Berry while the Ambassador filly just save
her distance. Time l:503.

For the Patriot
Reflections.

Bereft OF sunshine life would seem,
When through the world werd my way,
were't not that cheering hope doth TEEN
So prodigsl her smiles, which play
Like dew drops ron the opening flowers,
To buoy them for the sunny hours
How wells the heart.wth thrilling joy,
When those for whom we foBdly yearn
Are nobly true, naught to alloy
The wild, deep feeling which doth burn,
Within the heart we've yielded free
To share their joys or misery.
The passing hours OF every day
mark them aye, with miser care,
know that time will take away
All, all that renders life so dear;
The dearest idol of our heart-~
We're destined cen from that to part
But be it mine, when time shall fling
Her mantle DER departed years,
That in reverting then, no sting
May loom up with presagiDg fears;
And when my final hour is come
III bow, submissive, at my Makers throne.

In Litter 10 }. Payne Collier, Esq, f. S. A.
vol. limo. Cloth.
Whether Shall espeare was a clerk In an Attorneys
Office at stratford before he joined players in
London or, in other words, whether the author sf
Macbeth and Hamlet and King Lear, was employed
some years in engrossing deeds. serving wris, and
making out bills OF costs-is n question which has
been keenly agated OF late years among thu restless
fraternity OF Shakespeare schalars-one OF the most
interchangeable Of whom, Mr.. Payne Collier, knowing
Lord Campbell 10 be enthusiastic admlrer Of the
Master Dramatist well one 90 the most emf
nent British Jurists, peremptOriy demanded his
ular opinion.
Accordingly, we have here the results OF agree
able literary diversion with which the author Of the
Lives OF the Chanceors - and the - Lives OF tire
Chief Justices " recreated himself during long
cation and drove from his refreshed mind all weari-
reo,.llectOns OF the ~ranglngs OF Westminster
Hall. And as might be supposed, the volume is as
pleasant the process by which il mado-like
that, also, frequently amusing it is instructive.
Lord Campbell hopes fer kindly critics, who may
think il right any efart 10 brine abont
a fusion OF " Law and Literature which, like claw
and Equity - have too long been kept apart.
Students OF Shakespeaie and students OF the Law
will genially join interests over this book.
