THE FALL RACES.
The Post, the Green and the Bluff City
Stake---Preparations for a
Grand Tine.

Mr.. Charles Stone, Secretary of the
Cbickasaw Jockey Club, has placed us
under obligations for the following, touch
ing his ARRANGEMENTS for the Fall Meet
ingi He says the stakes, which closed on
the LIST of the month, have all filled salts
factorily, giving promise of a irst-rate
meeting in October. The post stake has
seven subscribers: Cadwallader, Craig
q Son, jennings, Lewis, Smith, Swigert,
and Young. This is the inaugural race OF
the meeting; two mile heats, sub. $50, p.
p, the second TO save his stake, with $500
added by the club. On the sanle day we
have the Bradley stake for two year ODDS,
dash Of one mile; sub. SIS, p. p, the club
adding $500. In this stake there are
twenty-five nominations, embracing all
the best and most ~fashionably bred two
year olds in Kentucky and Tennessee.
The third race, same day, Is the Gayoso
stake, mile heats, for three year olds, SIS
sub, p. p, with 800 added. In this there
are eighteen nominations, embracing
such well-known flyers as Enquirer, Re
gent, Jack Mcdonald, King Benazet, Sal
lie Farrell, Vidette, Bob Shelton full
brother to Helmbold), Annette and Jim
Hills gray FLY, by Brown Dick. This
promises 20 be a great race.
In the Green stake, mile heats for three
years olds that did not show in public
prior to the closing of the stake, there are
fifteen nominations. These, of course, are
all dark ones, but the list embraces names
that belong to well-known running fami-
lies, and there is reason to believe that
this will be a first-rate race. In the
George Elliott tsequel) Stake, dash of one
mile for two year olds, to be run on Fri
day, there is a penalty of seven pounds
extra weight imposed on the winner of
the Bradley stake. To this stake also
there are twenty-five subscribers. 1t will
be a capital race.
On Friday will also be run the Bluff
CITY Stake, two mile heats tor three year
Odds, $50 sub, %. D., with $1,000 added, to
which there are twenty-siX subscribers.
This is a very valuable stake, and prom
ises to be the great race of the week. The
value to the winner will be $3.50. This
stake closed in November last, and we
have heretofore published a list of the
nominations. or the entries that have
made a public record, General Buford's
Enquirer, by bennington, dam Ida, by
Lexington, is perhaps held in the highest
repute; and he will probably be the favor
lite. He is a game, stout colt, and has
shown his ability to stay the distance.
He won the Sequel two year old stake
over the Chickasaw Course, last fall, beat
ing a fine field, including the famous
Hamburg. His performances this year,
in his three year old form, in the East,
stamp him a tirst-class race horse.
Besides the stakes enumerated above,
there is the usual variety of races, for
Jockey Club purses, at various distances
in heats and clashes, from to three
miles. Taken altogether, the programme
is a very excellent one, and we shall be
greatly surprised if the five days meet
ing, commencing on Thursday, October
18th, does not prove the most interesting
ever witnessed in Memphis.
AS soon as sufficient time has been al
lowed for letters that may have been mis-
sent to reach their proper destination, the
Secretary will issue his programme for
the Fall Meeting of 1870, containing a full
list of all the entries to the various stakes,
as well as the names of the subscribers to
the DeSoto (Produce) stake for 1873, to
which, we learn, there are thirty-two
subscribers. The programme will be
published in the course of the next fif-
teen DAYS.
