From the Memphis Appeal, Aug 10.
NJ. Charles Stone, Secretary Of tho
Chickasaw Jockey Club, has placed u,
under obligations for the FLOWING
touching his arrangements fer the fal
I meeting. He says the stakes, which
closed ON the LIST Of the month, have al
filled satisfactorily, giving promise Of :
first rate meeting in October. The post
stake has seven subscribers : Cadwalla-
der, Craig 81 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 same day we have the Bradley
stake for two year Olds, dash of one
mile; sub. SIS, p. D., 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 years old, $25 SUBJ, p. D.,
with $400 added. In this there are eigh-
teen nominations, embracing such well
known flyers as Enquirer, Regent, Jack
Mcdonald, King Bejazet, Sallie Farrell,
Vidette, Bob Shelton (ful brother to
Helmbold,) Annette and Jim Hills gray
FLY, by Brown Dick. This promises to
be great race.
In the Green stake, mile heats for three
year Odds 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
families, and there is reason to believe
that this will be first-rate race. In the
George Elliott (sequeD stake, dash of one
mile for two year olds, to be run on Fri
day, there is 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 capital race.
On Friday will also be run the Bluff
City Stake, two mile heats for three year
olds, $50 SUBJ, p. p, with 81, 600 added,
to which there are twenty-six subscribers.
This is very valuable stake, and prom
ises to be the great race of the week.
The value To the winner will be g, $50.
This stake closed in November last, and
we have heretofore published list of the
nominations. OF the entries that have
made public record, Gen. BufOrd's En-
quirer, by bennington, dam Ida, by
Lexington, is perhaps held in the highest
repute; and he will probably be the favor
tie. He is 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 tirst-clsss race horse.
Besides the stakes enumerated above,
there is the usual variety of races, for
Jockey Club purses, at various distances
in heats and dashes, from one to three
miles. Taken altogether, the programme
is a very excellent one, and we shall be
greatly surprised if the five days meeting,
commencing on Thursday, October 25,
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 destinations,
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 sub
scribers to the DeSoto (Produce) stake
1878, to which, we learn, there are thirty
two subscribers. The programme will be
published in the course of the next fifteen
