THE SPRING MEETING
Over the Memphis Jockey Club COsirs'
Promises to be One of the
Most Interesting Ever Held in This Sec
fiOn-The Best Stables Coming.

We are glad to lie able TO say that the
outlook for grahd spring meeting at the
Memphis Jockey Club course, in April;
promises to be one of the most interesting
ever known in this section. The tleetest
of the fleet horses Of the country are being
entered and the purses will be as liberal
as any offered by the club, which
is noted among sportsmen for its
liberality. There are already twenty-five
horses at the track in training, among
them three of the Mulky stable from Kan
sas City. The numerous stables now par
ticipating in the winter meeting at New
Orleans are booked for Memphis and will
be here in a few weeks.
The New York Sportsman, referring to
our spring meeting, says: There will be
ample time for the horses now at New Or
leans to make the journey to Memphis,
and once there both owners and horses
are in terrestrial paradise. The track is
one OF tile safest in the country for
horses to work. The officers are
whole souled, generous men, and the
needy trainer or owner in temporary
difficulties will always find friends among
the members OF the club. The weather in
April is delightful. For seven stakes there
is an average of nearly $500 added to each.
In addition to the stakes an attractive purse
programme will be made up, and as the
organization, even from its inception,
showed commendable skill in devising
conditions favorable to all classes of horses,
there ought, and no doubt will be, an
equitable division of fortunes favors
among owners. The New Orleans and
Memphis racing will give line to the
great events to be run at Louisville, and as
a consequence, they are sure to attract a
great deal OF attention.
