THE MEMPHIS RACES.

From The Memphis papers Of Saturday
and Sunday we obtain the result of the
races under the auspices of the National
Turf Congress, for the last two days of the
meeting. On Friday the great Turf Con-
gress Stake OF $4,000, four mile heats, was
run for. Asstated in our paper of Sunday,
the two most noted horses. Muggins" T"
and Lee Paul" we're unable to enter the
contest, and only fonr of the Associations
st. Louis, Lexington, Nashville and Mem
phis, made entries. The horses, neyerlhe-
less, were fine, and very great eoncourse
was assembled to witness the result, in
cluding dense array of the ladies of the
Bluff City. They were not disappointed,
the interest being great, and the betting
high. "Mary Wynne," Of St. Louis was
the fayorite by considerable odds-Nash-
vile and Lexington, with Duke of Or
leans" and "Counterproof," being about
even, and Memphis, with "Veto," the
Sleek" being distanced the FIRST heat. st.
Louis won the first heat, but Lexington
took the two next and the purse, contrary
to the general expectation, and the odds
went under to untold amounts. The second
race, on Friday. was won by A. G. Frank
Inns Sumner county filly, "Viola." The
following are the Summaries:
