Spring Meeting of the Chickasaw

From the Memphis Appeal, March 81.
The spring meeting of the Chickasaw
Jockey Club. which begins April -.
already gives promise of large attendance
of horses and unusually fine sport. We
have been shown a letter received by an
officer of the ChickaSaw Club, from re-
liable gentleman connected officially with
the Louisiana jockey Club, in which he
names the following list Of stables as GER
tain, barring accidents to some of the
horses, to be present at the spring meeting
here next month:
Wm. Jennings. with Cape Race, Silent
Friend, Dunboyne, and his three three-year
olds, Breathitt, Larry Hart and Ballankeel.
w. NJ. Conner, with MOOnbeam, Stam-
pede, Vortex, and Jim Crow.
f. Harrison, with Astrapee, Hunkidori,
Fred. Bonable, and Sweet Boy.
Mike Welsh, with Port Leonard, Capt.
Hutchinson, Mary L., and fOur-year-Old
gelding by Voucher.
Green Morris, with Nellie +. and Edwin
Adams.
J.J. Crowley, with Quartermaster and
Darlington.
William Brady, with Falmouth and
John Mccormick.
E. Warwick, with Tom Leathers and
two three-year Olds.
In addition to the above, it is known
that two stabes, j. z. Bauy's and w. NJ.
Burton's, each with four, and possibly
other stables, will be here from Nashville.
Peine & Mcmahon are at the track now
e nlr.ls / o.
Greenfield full sister to Regent, Ontario,
etc.. Mollie McCown, King Pin and
another.
c. Ruthe, of Natchex, has entered in the
stakes, and will be here with three; X. j.
Alcorn, of jackson, Miss, will have two;
from Mobile, Coffee, SpTague, Stone and
Williamson are expected; from Lexington,
Paul and Jackson. Bacon, Lewis * Co..
and Hitchcock were at the Charleston, g.
C.) meeting, but the letter to which We re-
fer states they are looked for dolly at New
Orleans: also, that some, if not all of them,
will stop at Memphis, as they pass up en-
route to Nashville. When TO the above,
some of whom may, and likely will, fail to
attend, are added the chances Of stables
dropping in from unexpected quarters, it
will be seen there is no probability and
scarcely possibility of failure on the
part of the club to secure such an attend
ance of horses as TO insure well contested
purses and fine sport. The meet
inc takes place at the close Of an
active business season, following year of
anxiety, labor and care. The public begin
10 long for relaxation and amusement.
During race week double opportunity for
enjoyment will be afforded, for during that
week the great cooking main, Alabama
versus Tennessee, will take place, as is
doubtless already known to our readers as
take an interest in cOck-hghting. And
matters have been so arraigned, We learn,
tl,at the fighting will take place in the fore
noon of each day, and the racing, rs usual, /,
in the afternoon. Thus one sport will not
interfere with the other, and those who
like both will have chance to witness
both. In view of the promise thus held
out for week of unusual enjoyment; we
shall not be surprised if the last week in
Anril witnesses a larger attendance OF peo-
ple than has ever heretofore been seen on a
Memphis race-courSe.
