How To Advartisa.

A Hartford, Conn, man was denouno-
ing newspaper advertising to a crowd of
listeners.
Last week." said he, II had an UNI
brella stolen from the vestibule of the
church. 1t was gift, and valuing it
very highly, spent double the worth in
advertising, but I have not recovered
it,
How did you word the advertise
mentP' asked merchant.
Here it is" said the man, producing
a slip cut from newspaper.
The merchant took it, and read:
Lost from the vestibule of the --
church. last Sunday evening, black
silk umbrella. The gentleman who
took it will be handsomely rewarded by
leaving it at No. - San Fernando
Street"
Now" said the merchant, Il am a
liberal advertiser, and have always
found It paid me well. A great deal de-
pendS upon the manner in which an ad-
vertisement is put Let us try for your
umbrella again. and if you do not then
acknowledge that advertising pays, l
will purchase you new one"
The merchant then took a slip of pa
per from his pocket and wrote:
''If the man who was seen to take an
umbrella from the vestibule of the -
church, last Sunday, does not wish to
get into trouble, and have q stain cast
upon the Christian character which he
values so highly, he will return it at
once to No. San Fernando Street.
He is well known"
This duly aDDoarnd in the paOer and
tonished when he opened the front door
of his residence. On the porch lay at
least dozen umbrellas, of ali shades
and sizes, that had been thrown in from
the sidewalk, while the front yard was
literally paved with umbrellas. Many
of them had notes attached to them,
saying that they had been taken by mis-
take, and begging the loser to keep the
little affair quiet.

gan town. and formed close friendship
with the cashier Of one OF the private
banks. One evening the cashier adEnst-
ted that he was laying his plans to rob
the bank of all its funds and skip into
Canada, and his friend permitted him
self to be drawn into the plot. They
were to skip together and share alike,
and certain date was mentioned for
the affair to come Off The BROOKLYN
man sold out his store at big sacrifice
and went to Detroit, where tie cashier
was to join him with the stolen funds.
The hour came and the cashier came,
but he had no sparkle in his eye.

groaned in explanation.

A FINE DAYS SPORT
At the Memphis Jockey Clubs Track

Of the Best Horses in the Country
The FaTorites Slaughtered and
The Betting Fraternity all Broken Up
Names and Time OF the Winners
Splendid Bill for To-Day.

A beautiful day for the racing at the
Memphis Jockey Clubs course yesterday
M ade everybody happy. The air was
mild and pleasant and the track was in
coed order 1t was the Tennessee Club
day, and it was gratifying 10 see 80 many OF
The handsome ladies of Memphis present
Their bright faces gave sort OF romantic
coloring To the large crowd on The grand
stand. The very beat people of Memphis
were present-merchsu ants and their wives,
lawyers, doctors, pretty girls, and, in short,
people of all classes. The crowd numbered
fully 5000 souls, and was conclusive evil
dence of the widespread interest the races
have aroused. Col. Montgomery, Mr.. Kat
zenberger, and the management OF the club
generally are enthusiastic over the success
which has so Tar attended the meeting. 1t is
conclusive eviderce tn at there is plenty of
life in the Bluff City, and it is promise OF
progress for the future.
The presence of Col. NJ Lewis Clarke, the
president of the Louisville Jockey Club,
and many other distinguished lovers of the
turf, shows that the people from abroad have
confidence in our Jockey Club. Col. Clarke
though pressed with business in Louisville,
felt so much interest in the club, and wished
so heartily to see it succeed, that ne deter
mined to come here anyhow, and he is lend
ing efficient aid as one OF the judges. Always
having possessed the merit OF quick de-
cision, he rigidly enforces the rules OF the
club without psrtiality, and leaves nc
ground for djesatisfaction. The pool men
have found that Memphis tackles very
kindly 10 the races, and they are already al
home here. The poolselling al the Pea
body Hotel, as we'll as at the track, has beer
very spirited. 1t is almost impossible Il
describe the vsrieg ated liveliness of the race
track, with the excitement of the betting
the practice-spurts of the horses, the merr,
laughter OF the ladies, aud continuously re
volving crowd.
| The sport yesterday was in every rac'
| vigorously contested, and the slaughter o
| the favorites was he feature OF the day
| Not a favorite came under the string win
ner. The consequence was that the bettin
fraternity was turned inside out, ard losse
were the order of the day. The lucky one
were unusually lucky; the regular pool
! paid largely upon the odds, and the PAR
Mutuals reached figure that they seldol
attain. The winners of the day were Wed
ding Day, who sold very low in the pools
Ada Ban, a chestnut flly OF King Ban
