Blight skies and delightful tempera-
ture favored the FIRST day Of the pQstpon-
ed events Of the New Memphis Jockey
Club. The wind and sunshine Of Sunday
and Monday placed the track in excellent
condition, and rare days sport was an
ticipated. The first race, a mile and three
quarters, brought out Boulevard Blazes,
Emma H., Brigand Belle, Ballard and
Annie G., with Blazes selling us prime
favorite, and Annie G.. next choice. An
ME q. assumed the pilotship OF the feet,
with Brigana Belle close TO her tanks,
and the balance well punched. From
the first 10 the second quarter, Annie g.
and Brigand Belle ran side by side,
with Boulevard and Emma u. next,
and Ballard and Blazes abreast
about length behind Down the
stretch Annie e. was seen in the lead,
At the mile and quarter post Blazes
seemed in trouble as he dropped rapidly
TO the rear. In the home stretch Annie
G was slightly in the advance Of Brigand,

rapidly up under whip and spur. They

was a repetition of the first and the event

The concluding event of the day was Q
straight mile dash, with Callao, Stark
and Twilight as starters. Callao was IA
vorite in the pools, with Starks second
choice and Twilight selling well for third
choice. At the start Twilight jumped t
the front, Callao second and Starks last

Contempt OF Court.

Shakespeare found his amusing Dog
berry among the stupid, laundering,
conceited constables of his day. Spec
linens of the race still survive, and
justify by their ludicrously-tw
speeches their classification with the
man who sighed, "Oh, that L had been
writ down-an asst"
Years ago, there lived in Illinois q
judicial Dogberry. He was shoemaker
and country magistrate, and dispensed
justice from his bench with an assur-
ance of knowledge that would have
made him an object of study to Shak-
speare.
In the same county lived lawyer,
named Knowlton. wag, who loved to
stir up the magisterial cobbler.
One day, having n case before "his
Honor" Knowlton called at the shop a
little before the hour appointed for the
trial.
1t was not long before the wag had
perpetrated joke upon the shoemaker,
which caused the loafers in the shop TO
laugh heartily.
Sir said Crispin, laying aside his
lapstone and glaring at Knowlton
through his horn spectacles, 81 am 60

Effect of Sunlight on Flour.

1t frequently happens that wheat or
rye flour, in spite of the greatest care
in baking, yields an inferior loaf, and
the failure is commonly attributed to
adulteration; but when submitted to in
vestigation neither microscopic nor
chemical tests reveal any adulteration.
Such -four is returned TO the miller or
dealer as unfit for use. The miller
says the -four was injured by the heat
ing OF the stones, and the dealer attrib-
utes the defect to the circumstance
that the sun must have shone upon the
sacks during transportation. 1t has
been proved by numerous experiments
that flour cannot bear the action of the
sun, even when not exposed directly to
its rays. When flour is exposed to the
heat of the sun an alteration takes place
in the gluten similar to that produced
by the heat of the stones. For this
reason it is advisable that the trans
portation of -four should take place, if
possible, on cool days or 10y night, as
we'll as that flour should he stored in a
cool place Boston, Journal Of Chem
