We have received the programme Of
the American Jockey Club Jerome Park
for the spring meeting Of 1871, which com
mencos 10th Of June. We see by b en-
tries already made, that many OF the
horses that ran here this spring are 70 run
at Jerome Park. Amoug them are Won
Moltke, Barney williams and others.
The proposition 20 consolidate the
railways from Memphis to Norfolk, 70
insure forty millions Of paying stock in
/ stead Of the present useless certificates,
and to make Major Wicks supreme man
ager Of the whole concern, gains popular
ity, and is approved by the press and poo
pie everywhere.

Crawf0rdvine, Arkansas, which strongly
indorses everything the APPEAL ad-
vOcRtes, and says, also, that it is the paper
for Arkansas. The writer says the Woath-
or was chilly there Friday night, when he
attended a ball at Marion and as he was
fond Of dancing he enjoyed himself eX-
ceedingly and admired the pretty girls
mHchly.
Captain LsnOw, the indefatigable
president and business manager Of Elm
wood Cemetery, proposes not only to in
close this Paradise Of the dead with a
costly fence, but TO render It sttrsctiveb by
the creation Of lakes and fountains. When
Captein LEnOW has exhausted al the APP
planes of wealth, and toll and taste, as
be viii, ElmwOod viii be the most sttrsc-
tive and tasteful rssting-placs Of the kind
in America.
The Adams and Jefferson blocks, on
Second street, have been looking up
lately. That neighbOrhOOd was giving
fair promise Of becoming q business cen
ter. 1t has vastly improved since the OBJ
i6ctiOnable iimb-sXhibitIOns that dis
graced The place have-De8n Withdrawn,
1t is rumored that some enterprising
Snowman, from the North, is about to re-
susCiIate the nauseUus Rmusements. lt
is to be hoped that some sensible person
Will prevail on him TO gather him his
false calves, blonde wigs, palpitatOrs and
clogs, and 60 home.
They talk of having glass works and
gas works at Jackson, Tennessee. In the
latter case the only difficulty is the dis
tance between the houses, The Wood
and Willow Ware Company, of this city,
will soon be ready % to furnish wooden
instesd OF iron gas pipes, now most sp-
proved in many cities and towns with
much more magnificent distances than
Jackson. The ulGin cost is in the pipes.
The rest is trihiDg. So with the daily
cost Of maintenance under the Brown
napths gas patent. II any doubt,
let them inspect the gas works Of this
city.
The railway map Of Memphis, with
the printed description OF the adjacent
country, is being widely circulated. In
promoting this end, every citizen, trades
and property holder OF Memphis is
interested. It is the country that makes
the town, and we must let the world
know how attractive are districts tribu-
Jary TO the wealth Of this city. Write
business letters on the letter sheet, and
each letter is prOmOtivs of the prosperity
Of each citizen. Call for the letter sheets, !
on which bill-hesds may be printed, either
st S. C.. TOOf's or at APPEAL office.
Next Friday night week, the 9th
.nst., q promenade concert viii be given
n the Overton Hotel, BY the Confederate
Memorial Association. 1t seems that,
Turing and IN course of the recent cslebra-
ion, Indebtedness of no great amount, for
music and in removing the bodies Of on
ederate States soldiers, was incurred.
This is to be eLtinRuished by the proposed
nJertsinment-magnihosnt because Of
he splendors and wise management
II the hotel that gives DO, and because
II the taste and accomplishments Of the
EXCELLENT women who viii minister 10 the
10 lights Of the evening.
