Capt. Taylor's Picnic.

From The Yazoo Sentinel, Yazoo,
Miss. of Sept. 9Th. we clip the fol-
lowing write up of picnic given
near Satartia, Miss. Capt. Taylor
is we'll remembered here at his
old home:
"Capt. H. L. Taylor gave a picnic and
barbecue to his hands, on Holly Bend
Plantation on the river, two and a half
miles above this place. A few of his
white friends were invited to be pres
ent and knowing that there was feast
in store for them, they availed them
selves of the privilege and enjoyed one
of the most bounteous spreads immag-
Unable. Besides barbecued beef, mutton
and pig, there were stuffed eggs, pies,
custards and cakes for every one, also
two zinc tubs full of the finest kind of
white perch caught that morning out
of Lake George just back of Holly Bend.
Taking birdseye view of the table ar
ranged for the negroes while they were
eating it looked like it was thousand
feet long. with the entire length COW
cred with edible as described above.
Mrs. DR.. j. b. Taylor and Mrs. DR..
j. P. Moore, Jr. presided over the table
set apart for the white folks. After
dinner was over my brethren were
spiked, when 1 listened to some of the
tales. One man from Phoenix had
cat with six legs; one from up the river
saw deer with three distinct horns,
with forty prongs; another saw bear
with one foot growing out of his head,
and as far as snake stories and fish lies
are concerned they were 80 thick you
could have stirred them with stick.
Capt. Taylor assisted by his manager,
Mr.. A. M, Harris. deserves the thanks
of all present for their many courtesies.

The Broadway Paddock,
CFrom the Plttsburg Gasette.)

From the PlttSburR GasetteD
Although horse-racing is no longer an
amusement for this part of the country
and will be confined to Southern tracks
until the spring opens it is always
earnestly discussed in New York. There
is one part of upper Broadway which
is known as the. Broadway Paddock
II runs from Madison square to Forty
second street--being, in fact. almost
Identical with the district famous as
the Rialto. In nearly Il dozen hotels
along this section there may be found
groups of horscmcn from many cities
sitting In the Hobbies and chatting about
their favorite sport. Some Of them
merely look into the hotels to speak to
a friend or two and get out. Among
these flying visitors may be mentioned
Capt. Sam Brown and Il. Z. Smath-
ers. Occasionally J.. ID. Gallery. may. be
seen for a few moments. while other
Pittsburgers who possess fine horses
and like to hear the latest horse gossip
OF the metropolis drop into the places
where they know they will get 1t hot
from the griddle. 1t is characteristic
of the Broadway Paddock that most
of tho horsemen seen there are actual
owners and lovers of horses for their
own sake, and distinct from the betting
element. "Pittsburg Phil is a frequent
visitor to the Paddock" but then he is
Il horse-owner as we'll as a betting man.
