Winners.
MEMPHIS, May 5.-Chickasaw Jockey
Club races. The second day brought to-
gether large crowd and many ladies. The
weather was fair and the track in a safe
condition, but no fast time.
The first race was one mile and a half
for all ages; club purse of $500. The run
ners were OrlOtan, DOnnybrOOk, Savoy,
Limestone, Stampede, Chris. Doyle, Cap
tain Hutchinson and Edwin Adams. The
betting was very spirited. OrlOtan was the
favorite, selling for 500, Savoy so, Edwin
Adams $50, DonnybrOok $50, field $50.
The horses started from the half
mile pole. Edwin Adams was
away first, the others in a bunch
several lengths behind. Coming into the
home stretch the positions were tn same.
As they went round the turn and up the
back stretch, Stampede rushed from the
rear guard and took the third place. Gradu-
ally he closed on the leaders, running on
the extreme outside of the track. Coming
into the home run he was Tapped Oh Edwin
Adams, and all driving. At the lower end
of the sand Stampede drew away and Won
by a length. Adams second, four lengths in
from Limestone, the Others beaten of.
There was the greatest amount Of excite
ment, as it was one of the best races ever
run over the course. Stampede's winning
to-day verified the opinion Of the best
Judges, who declared that he could have
won in a canter had it not been for the ac-
cident yesterday when Larry Hart won.
Time, 2:454.
Second Race-Mile heats for all ages,
club purse $50. Quartermaster, i. T.
Conver, Emir and Mary L. started. The

heats. CONVEX cOntended every inch of
ground. Quartermaster won the first by a
neck and the second by a length. Emir
was third in both heats. Mary l.. was
fourth and diStanced. Time, 1:49s; 1:4Gs.
This was another first-class race con-
sidering that the track was not fast. Geo.
II. Rice offered 10 match Stampede against
any horse at the track for two miles. The

Fox.
NEW YORK, Max ok Congressman
John MOnissey and John Fox, both mem
berS of the Tammany Hall General Com
mittee, met last evening in the bar-roOm
Of the Maison Doree. Their friendly talk
gradually changed into a dispute and eul-
minated in wrancle, each accusing the
other Of unfaithfulness and intrigue. At
length MOrrissey offered to bet 5000 that
Fox, now State Senator, could not be re-
elected or elected TO any office in the CITY.
Senator Fox's reply was the offer Of a wager
that MOrrissey could not be elected to any
Office. A war of words followed,
which ended by MorrisSey calling
Fox id liar. The Senator
asked MOrrisey to retract what he had said.
Morrisey declined to do so and "put up"
Fox, whose han4s were encaSed in kid
gloves, asked MoTiSsey to put down his
hands saying, " you do not mean to hit
me-" No, replied Morrissey, | do not want
to hit you. You gambler, you dare not hit
me, said FoN, advancing. Al this Morris
sey stepped forward and struck Fox in the
face and butted him in the head twice.
As he put himself in position to deliver
another blow, mutual friends interfered
and separated them. Fox's face was bruis-

BosroN, April 15.-The Dawes forces have
been again rallied to-day, and Mt. Dawes's vote was
carried up TO 3d. only five less than the highest number
he has ever received This was preceded by decided
rejection of the proposition OF the Hoar
Conference Committee. THIS rejection was con-
tanned In an able and adrolt reply
from the Dawes faction drawn up by Charles HALE In
this it is claimed that every vote In the Joint Conven'
ton Mr. Dawes has led and that the twelfth pauot
showed him DO the choice OF the Republicans OF the
Legislature. The twelfth ballot was that on which three
Banks men temporarily went to Dawes. returning tue
next day. and with their aid IL really gave Dawes five
votes less than majority Of the Republicans The COM
munication concludes with offer on the part of tho
Dawes men to 90 into conference, but declines to
withdraw Dawes's name until q majority OF such con
ference shall declare against him.
Tho Hoar men refuse listen TO this proposition, and
will enter no conference while Dawes Is yet cand-
date They brought their vote up TO 80 In the singe
ballot had to-day which an increase Of % over yes
terday but % less than their highest number None
OF their men have gone to Dawes. Charles Francis
Adams takes the most them, and received % votes
Banks is at his old figure The Dawes men seem now
determined prevent the election OF any republican
other than Mr. Dawes and 1t looks very much as II no
Republican would be elected 1t in the power OF their
opponents to checkmate them IN Inelr iacous cOuso
by voting for Mr. Adams. As the case now stands he
has better chance of election than any OF the other
candidates The in his favor yesterday was nearly
all Republican, and with such votes as the Democrats
could give him. would bring him within 80 votes OF
an election which 10 considerably nearer than Mr.
Dawes has ever been. He quite likely to gain still
more from tho Republicans hereafter.
