- RAcEs.
Smother Days SBsFt that was Ealeyed BY
a DsoHut Gf8Wd-SiN Thousand Pee
pie on the Course,
A Brilliant Array Of Ladies', Seed Running,
and Pleasant weather, and a
Happy tine 6eHeraily.

The RACES yesterday, to use an express
siTs phrase, were a success, IL was q day
Of nnallOyed delight TO those who were
fortunate enough to be out and witness
Lhs splendid races that we're on the Mem
phis Jockey Club course during the after
noon Of vest riay, The stanaw twas crowd
ID with ladies, snd the space outside the
quarter strsteh was crowded with We
hicles. The horses were admired by an
apprecislivs crowd, and In every way ghe
day was q day OF unalloyed sport, as ev-
sry turf man can testify that Witnessed
iE, There were some III. nhtured folks, or
I course, who found fault with The
music because it consisted Of a
snare drum and the m%elOdiOus voice
of the pool seller, but these were Jew
for, as q general thing, ladies prefer to
hear the sWeet tones of their own voices
To all the barbarOus brass bands from here
4 to Jericho. Then, again, there were peo-
I pie who found fault with the very pecu-
liar hospitality 0fthe management, which
consisted chiefly Of a grim smile and a
hshv shake OF the hand These people
don't understand how races are run, how
things are done at the RAGS course
Strangers must be entertained first, and
principally. Those who are at home,
ought 70 know better than to quarrel and
grOwl about being neglected, when there
are princes from TImbuCtOO and dead
lenGb from A6LlGuo pItseAbs 4ut5o nooa 70
be ciCHrOned around, to be honeyed over,
in order that we may get a reputation
abroad. These GROWERS ought TO under
stand that q prophet is not without
honor save in his own country" And,
alter all, they must acknowledge that the
races were q splendid thing, taking the
snare drum and the-the-the general
genblemanly conduct of b management
into consideration. The horses, at leRst,
HrE cha arfrruHu #hTnn Thaw did THAR nHaf-
tiest TOR al hands, without distinction, and
every unsOphistiCated person away psr-
fsCtly satisfied. No painful question Of
bad weather Obtruded itself yesterday on
the imsginstiOns Of those who we're seek
ing q days sport. All felt confident hat
things would be square on shat score, and
they were not disappointed. The wealth
or was beautiful, not only beautiful, but
splendid, not only splendid, but salts
factory, which il the acme of westherolO-
gy. Consequently there was a great
crUwd-a very great crowd. Consequent
lv there was a splendid days sport, a first
rate days sport; consequently all were
more or less happy. Consequently the
rooms underneath, which snail not be
mentioned again, we're in a high feather,
and all things we're well.

Was won by Bsyonet. The start was
decidedly a bad one. Bayonet had the
bzst OF il going OF, but owing to mt mis-
fortune on his part, he lost mis- advantage
before rasching the quarter, and the other
heats punched upon aim pleasantly. Be-
fore the bunch" was ~disenUangled, Jim.
Hunbou showed his nose in front, and
kept it there till past the judges stand,
after which BayOnet went up, Ida Girls
som last. In going down the back stretch
Ida GrissOm takes a second position,
moving up calamity for a place in the
front rank; the others strung out, Jim,

tween BayOneG and Ida, but Bayonet
feels safe and takes the race without
much difficulty; Ida GrissOm second
Mamie Douglass and Jim Hinton fourth
whipping. Time, 2:47H.

TO the trent before reaching the quarter
pole, passing TsnglsfOOt, Morgan Scout
IN the third place. Going down the back
stretch, TauglefOOt gained on Barney,
who was under pull, The other horses,
owing to This conceded advantage, moved
up also, and they punched together going
round the turn Morgan Scout showed
his nose in 'front.' cut of this bunch, and
Barney dropped to the rear. In coming
down the home run the race appeared TO
be between TsngletOOt and Morgan
Scout, Barney showing his head between
the tails Of both. IanglefOOt managed to
pass the string q head in front. Con-
siderable excitement began 10 prevail aJ
this point. Those who had purchased
short on Tanglefoot thought they had
q thing or UWO,' but we're quick
" undeceived, for before reaching
the quarter on the second mile,
Morgan Scout again took the lead, Tan
gIsfOOt second, and Barney gathering
along in the rear. They ran down the
back stretch in this order, and Barney
did not begin TO do anything ike pretty
running, until sc the turn, when his rider
let him out and then be went for the
hsathen Chinee ia q way that was fright
ful to see. He jumped in among them
and crested conformation and dis
may. The DISTINGUISHED mass OF spec
JaJOrs rose TO their feet, shouted and
clapred hands frsnticslly. In coming
home the last quarter the running was
beautiful between Barney and Scout. Il
was q ! nice see-saW, but Barney came in a
neck ahead, and won the race, Scout Soc
Ond and TsnglefoOt third. Time, 3:47h.
