SECOND DAY
OF the Spring Races-0ne Of the Larg-

Fine Weather and Excellent Sport-The
Fay0rites Lese Two Purses and
Win I've.
Princess. Lutte Fogle, Queen Esther and
Lille B. the Vict0rs-The Pro-
gramme for To-Day.

Yesterday was great one at the race
track, passing without accident to either
men or horses. The day was as fine as
the most enthusiastic admirer of out-of-
door sports could have desired, and the
roads were in perfect condition. Hun
dreds were thus induced to drive out, and
the various thoroughfares leading from
the city to the grounds were filed with an
almost unbroken stream of turnouts.
many OF which were new and exceedingly
stylish. A great deal was done in the way
of special preparation, many of the gen
tlemen wearing high white bets, and the
ladies having their heads almost buried in
clouds of fleecy plumes, their costumes
all having decidedly racy favor. Sew
eral jaunty jockey caps, in modified
form. OF course, were worn by ladies who
went out by rail, those who drove out in
carriages preferring plumes, which they
were afforded better opportunity to dis
play. The crowd boarding the train at
the Memphis and Charleston depot was
considerably augmented when the trains

all the spare coaches which the company
could muster, number of fiat cars, pro-
vided with rough benches, were pressed
into service.
At the track the grand stand was well
filed with ladies, raany of whom were
brilliantly costumed. The space to the
right and left was nearly all taken by
vehicles, and about the pools and betting
stands there was such jam that it was
slow work walking about. There was a
decided disposition on the part of all those
who wore quarter-stretch badges to bet on
every race that started, and some bold
strokes were made, the gains and losses,
| whichever. way the favorite went, being
large. The faVorite way of betting was in
the books, which were doubly as popular
as on previous occasions. French pools
| were not very eagerly sought and did not
pay largely except when Lutte Fogle dashed
in winner. Perhaps it was the weather,
maybe the crowd, but very likely the
money, but there were few who did not
take more than a common interest in the
sport, the winners being hailed with deaf
ening applause
