A capacitor across a relay coil is normally used to provide a slow release function.

Many telephone relays had a residual stud, of non-magnetic material, between the pole face and the armature to break the magnetic path and prevent the armature being held in by residual magnetism. Tape as suggested by Herald1360 will also do the job.
