that the sulkies of Ned and Fred collided and
the latter was considerably injured. On reach

took tne lead and at once began to run. Thur

ing OF me judges and said that the judges had
no rignt 10 give the heat to the third horse.
Inc orlver of Drew Knox was willing to take
the heat, but as his horse was green he objected
to inc record. The judges contended that the
recoru given was of his horse and not of the one
tnat came under the wire first, and therefore it
was Iair That he should have record with the
neat. This decision was afterwards revised and
no record was attached to the heat.
otfth Hedt-Stranger having been distanced
for not winning heat in five and Thurlow

STABLE HORSES.
The second race was for stable horses and
there were five nominations, and they drew
positions in the order named: Thurlow Knox ,
Fred, Grey Stranger, Ned, and Drew Knox.
The race was for $50, divided into four purses,
$40. $l5, $40. s.. Some of the drivers objected
to Thurlow Knox as he had record, but it was
said that he was kept to let and SO was allowed
to start,
First Heat-The horses got very good start
and Thurlow soon took the lead with Grey
Stranger pressing him. Fred soon came to
the second position while Stranger fell back.
1t was then a hard fight between the two lead
ing horses for the first position. When they
came to the home stretch Ned suddenly rushed
to the front and won by half length. Time
2.42.
Second Hedt-At the word Ned took the lead
and led for short distance when Thurlow
spurted and took the first position and Fred
second. Drew Knox was acting badly and
trailed in the rear. Thurlow won easily in

half, but on the last half the positions were
reversed and Fred came under the wire first in

with Fred at his wheel. On the back side Fred
mace strong effort to take the first place, But
Ihurlow was trotting too fast At this time

To the Editor Of the Ledger.l
| have just read in this mornings
Avalanche an article written by a corre-
spondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial
from Jefferson, Texas,in which he clearly
demonstrates how Memphia, Louisville
and Cincinnati are laying supinely
asleep. while st. Louis is stealing the
trade Of that vast and growing empire
by the arbitrary course pursued By the
Iron Mountain railroad, which almost
amounts to a prohibition as against
Memphis and ell other cities North and
East. The Little Rock railroad is max
ing a gallant fight. and it is our duty to
sustain that road in every way we can,
and while sustaining it we are strength
ening ourselves. This correspondent
shows that a direct road from Jefferson
TO DevalIs Bluff will shorten the dis.
lance e~ighty-two miles and make us free
and independent of the Iron Mountain
railroad and bring US such a trade from
the heart and center Of Texas as we have
not had fer years. why cannot Cincin-
natl, Louisville and Memphis combine
10 fill up the gap, and wrest from the
Iron Mountain railroad and St. Louis
the trade which naturally belongs to this
placer Now is the time to move in this
matter, and if the chambers of commerce
Of the cities named take the matter in
hand and lay the facts Of the case before
their respective people, my word for it,
the work will soon be accomplished. No
person, unless he has visited Texas, has
any adequate idea Of the Importance of
its trade, aud it is our own fault if we do
not get u fair proportion Of it. A very
large proportion Of its people are from
Tennessee and want to trade with Mem
phis, who, they say, are old n~eighbors
and friends. And all impartial persons
will admit hat Memphis is a better cot.
ton market than st. Louis. Now, Mr..
Editor, | merely call these things to your
notice that you may sound the bugle
notes and call the attention Of the inter
ested parties, land who Of us in Memphis
is not interested?) and take some steps
to get vi share Of this great aud grow.

The news telegraphed Sunday night
that Plevna had fallen into the hands Of
the Russians. and published with various
comments the next day or two, was at
first doubted. then discredited aud at last
denied. The Russians have gained some
advantages in position at a vast ex-
pense OF life and ammunition, but
they had not taken Plevns at last ac-
counts by considerable. The Turks
have a strong position aud a large
force admirably distributed for defensive
purposes. This bids fair to be a pro.
tracted siege and the result is doubtful.
By a powerful combination of troops and
guns the Russians may overwhelm and
destroy the place, but before this is done
both sides must suffer greatly and be
tried. II the Turks are driven
out it will be a turning point in the war;
il not, Russia will have to take the back
