THE LAST DAY AT MEMPHIS

Memphis Tenn, April 27.-This was the concluding day of the Memphis Jockey clubs annual spring meeting. There were twenty days of racing, and the meeting has developed some of the best 2-year-olds shown here for years, notably Miss. Ben nett, Garry. Herman, Siverdale, Lady Schorr and The Mecca. There will be an extra days racing on tomorrow, the track having been turned over to the local Elks' organization for benefit to the orphan children of Charles Clark, who was acci- dentally shot and killed at the track last spring.
 Three favorites and two strong second choices won today, and the bookies had somewhat the worst of the argument. The stake feature was the Peabody handicap at a mile and an eighth. It looked like gift for Streamer and only two other horses Crocket and Dramburg-accepted the weights. Dramburg made the pace until well rounded in the back stretch, closely followed by Streamer. Making the turn for home, Streamer went to the front and won pulled up, by two lengths from Crockett, which beat Dramburg five lengths. Stream CT pulled up very lame, Burns having to dismount and lead the horse back to the judges stand.
 In the first race, a siX-furlong selling purse, Isabinda, the second choice, easily disposed of Harry Floyd and Kilt.
 Gibson Girl was an even money favorite for the second race at half of mile and won handily from Cinara.
 The third race was at one mile, and for which Joe Baker closed a slight favorite over Andes and the Duke of Baden Andes made the pace until well into the stretch, when John Baker caught up, winning by a neck from the Duke of Baden, which fin- ished strong
 Hoods Brigade ran away with the fifth race at a mile and a sixteenth, Belle of Orleans, the favorite finishing outside the money.
 Myrtle Van was the good thing for the last event, a six furlong dash, being back ed from eights to fours. She won without trouble from Eva Wilson, an outsider. Weather warm; track fast.
