Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-04-24

foTmatian fer The guidance OF those VINO
purpose participating in the meeting next
/ week. For this purpose we went out 20
the track Yesterday; and as the means OF
approach to the scene of the contests OF
speed M bottom are of the greatest I'M
portance, rave our attention first to
THE ROADS
leading thither. From personal expert
enee We can say that they are all barring
DUST in pretty good order, except the
Central Avenue road, which, in more than
one place, is absolutely dangerous. Col.
Charley Stone, the Secretary of the Jockey
Club, was recently appointed by the Coun-
ty Court to put il in repair, the sum of
two hundred dollars in county warrants
in prOspecta being donated for the pur-
nose. Colonel Stone informs US that the
appointment was made at a very recent
date. and the appropriation being only a
promise of county warrants was not ne
rotiable. He might have sold the war
rants could he have obtained them IN
hand, at 20 cents on the dollar, and COM
pleted the work, but nobody would ad-
vance a cent on the prospective war
rants. So the road is dangerous yet, and
we advise all parties to shun it. The
Pigeon ROost road, Trezevant avenue and
other avenues leading cut thither are
lpassable, and, as we remarked, in pretty
good order barring dust. A good shower,
which we will no dOubt have before
Tuesday, will remedythis drawback.
AT THE
signs of busy preparation were every
where evident. The whitewashing talent
of the " colored cuss from Africa " was
being utilized in a prOfuse manner, the
fences. stands, etc, receiving a liberal
supply. Tit lessees of those retreshment
stands, the privileges of which have al
ready been rented out, were on the
ground busily engaged in fixing up their
various booths for the occasion.
TRACK
is in magnificent order, and if we can
have a moderate shower, between now
and Monday, viii be very fast. 1t is what
a turfman would call "accommodating"-
that is, Colonel Charley Stone Ia veteran
turfman HIMSELF has had il so narrowed
that jockeys can suit the hoOfs of their
horses on it. On the outside it is a little
deep, and rather hard on the inside-nei-
Their too hard nor too soft, however, for
speed in either instance. A rolling will
make it as level as a floor and as smooth
as a Brussels carpet. We look for a good
time over it.
THE STANDS.
Every arrangement has been completed
for the comfort of the thousands of spec
tators whom the club hope to have the
| pleasure of greeting during the week. To
the ladies especial attention has been
paid. Their sitting room, drawing room,
! etc, have been reftted. The restaurant {
and refreshment saloon has been let to a !
well known caterer, who viii keep only
the best of refreshments, solid and fluid.
Proper committees o Perception have been I
appointed, and ladies can rest assured no !
improper characters will be allowed upon l
their stand or on the quarter stretch. '
They need have no fear of contact with Z
those whom they 10 not wish to l
meet. In return for all these at {
tentions the club hope to see a 6
brilliant assemblage on every day of :
the spring meeting. The club fully APP .
preciate hat there can be no refined 1
pleasure in which woman does not parti- g
cipate, and to the enjoyment of which her .
presence ever lends additional charms; L
they have therefore exerted themselves y
to attract thither all of our youth, beauty !
and fashion. Z
THE STABLES. '
A drive across the track to the stables =
and quarters of the trainers, occupied a ?
couple Of hours after we got through =
around the stands. We found everything
as neat as a pin, and everybody, except e
one poor little evil of a jockey, who was ="
being swsated down to weight, as happy
as big s~unhowers. This exception was a !.
juvenile African, who, reckless ofthe con- y
sequences, had been iadulging in too =
much grub, and must needs atone for the !
same by lying in the sun (the thermome- :,
ter at 9O0 in the shadeI covered with a .
dozen or so blankets. The trainers and "

and reflect much credit on their .ToI
