SPRING MEETING.
The Prospects Good for Better Meet
Ing Than Ever Before.

The New Memphis Jockey Club pro-
grammes for the spring meeting were out
yesterday, and large orders for them from
Louisville, st. Louis and New Orleans were
received. The entries, a list of which have
already been published, promise more
successful meeting than any that have
preceded it.
The club in making up their programme
for the spring meeting, have been quite
complimentary to the commodores of our
river fleets. They start out with an intro
ductory scramble for all ages with John
d. Adams" all-aged purse, meaning that
in scramble for all ages the genial,
Laughing" major will always come out in
purse, selling race. The little commo-
dore Will sell higher than any colt in the
race. Following this race comes the tall
est of them all, the "Ad Storm" purse
race, for all ages, again. Capt. Ad has the
length of stride to go long distance-one
mile and sixteenth. Derby day comes
next, with the Jim Lee" free handicap,
one and one-eighth miles, distance that
makes it a walk-over for him. Last, but
not least, comes the "Harhin" purse, for
two-year -olds, properly named, as che isa
tWo-yeaE-oli."
