THE Fortidcations Appropriation BIZ was
reported in the Senate on Friday by Mr..
Dawes with am amendment increasing the
amount for the conversion and manufacture
of heavy guns from 100000 to S4jO00o.
This is a very important measure, and will
bear scrutiny. There is no doubt that this
Government, for a number OF years TO come
ought to expend a large sum OF money an
nually for cannon of heavy calibre and the
most improved pattern What needs looking
after is that the first steps shall be taken in
the right and not in exactly the wrong di-
recton. Several ambitious firms stand ready
to undertake the manufacture OF cannon,
and are exceedingly anxious that the United
States shall not 60 into the business OF man

The election of Captain Ed. Hart
as Secretary Of the Jockey Club, as
well as the re election of Col. Mont.
gomery, as President, gives assurance
of vigorous business management.
These gentlemen never do anything by
halves; they are full of energy and
thoroughly imbued with progressive
public spirit. Both have been sue
cessful in their own business and in
the management of large affairs.
Captain Hart is a farmer and stock
raiser and is therefore naturally 10
sympathy with the turf, and with the
display of spirited trotters, good saddle
horses and fast racers. These are the
legitimate and beneficial objects OF
stock raising, one of the great and
grOwina interests of the South. Mem
phis is centrally located and peculiarly
adapted as a point for spring and iall
meetings, and the Jockey Club is in a
position and has an opportunity to
accomplish great results, such as will
attract the attention of turfmen and
the raisers of blooded stock all over
the country. The gentlemen incharge
have hard work before them, some
glory and we hope an abundance Of
profit in the harvests to be reaped
further along.
