BERoLAIR WINS THE DERBY.
Lady Inez Finishes Second and Ben
Elder Third.

Memphis. Tenn, April 9.-The fifteen
days meeting of the Memphis Jockey Club
began to-day, the track being fast, the
crowd about ten thousand, and the sport
disappointing. The latter was due to the
starting machine, which caused the burn
ing of a great deal of money by leaving
two favorites at the post. The Tennessee
Derby was captured by DR.. McLeans Ber-
clair, a maiden, who lowered the Derby
record by three and one-half seconds.
Tradition was scratched in the big event
and Whisper was added at the last mo-
ment, a field of ten going to the post
After a delay of about three minutes
the field was sent away by Caldwell to
an elegant start, with Tiny" Williams
on Cliff Porter's Damien, in the lead, Ben
Elder second, Whisper third and the 9TH
ers in a bunch close up. Before they had
passed the judges stand, Thorpe, on Ber-
clair, had assumed command and from
then to the end of the journey was never
in trouble passing under the wire in a
gallop. The race was run in :55%, which
beats the track record for the Derby. the
ninth in the history of Montgomery Park
SO seconds faster than it was ever run
before.
A summary follows:

FATAL TO SHADE TREES.
The Result of Paving with Asphalt.

The Result of Paving with Asphalt.
DR.. c. H. Colding is of the opinion THAI
the paving of South Broad street with
asphalt would result in the killing of all
the trees on that thoroughfare.
The trees on South Broad street are
mostly of the water oak variety, tree
which grows rapidly, and at best is short
lived. Il have made an extensive study
of the trees native to this section" saiG
DIR. Colding, land l find that they have
what are called surface roots, or roots
which lay near the surface, and require
considerable water for their proper nour-
ishment.
"In my Judgment" said DIR. Coldins.
1.-The laying of an asphalt pavement on
South Broad street will result in the death
of all of the trees. The rapid decay or
the sycamore trees in johnson square Is
an example of the effect the asphalt pave
ment has on trees in this part of the
country" ~ Ell
Another prominent citizen, who has
made a study of the trees of this section,
expressed himself in a similar way as TO
the fatal effect of asphalt paving on sur
face root trees.

TO ADOPT A STANDARD BALE.
Cotton Men to Meet in Augusti
To-day

Cotton Men to Meet in Augusta
To-day.
Capt. W. w. Williamson. Capt George
p. Walker and Mr.. c. b. Malone left the
city last night for Augusta, where they
go as a committee from the Savannah
Cotton Exchange to meet committees from
Charleston and Memphis to take action
with regard to the condition of compressed
cotton that is now being received for
shipment at the ports.
The convention was called at the sug-
gestlon of the Memphis cotton people.
New Orleans and Galveston have already
taken action on the matter and have
adopted a standard bale based on the work
of the latest presses, which is 22ia pounds
to the cubic foot. Much cotton has been
coming to this and other ports in such
an inferior condition that the cotton men
have found il necessary TO take some ac-
ton with regard to it. Presses which
have been discarded at the ports have
been taken into the interior, and cotton
al the ports for shipment on the same
basis as that compressed by the latest
and most improved machinery.
The cotton men of Memphis, Charleston
and Savannah have found it necessary
to act in harmony with the other coast
cities in this matter, and for this reason
a meeting has been called in Augusta.
1t is probable this meeting will decide
on the same standard as that adopted by
the other ports so as to bring about a
harmony of action between all.
