Several changes with regard to the Course and its appurtenances 

 may be noticed since last year. The Jockey Club Stand, usually occu- 

 pied by the Judges and Timers of the Races, has been remodelled. The 

 heavy pillars, which so deformed it, and were so injudicious and in bad 

 taste, have been removed, and light wrought iron posts have been sub- 

 stituted. The building consequently has assumed a nnich more light 

 and attractive appearance, and a clearer view from it of course, is ob- 

 tained of the Course. 



The Grand Stand, which has been so generally admired for its neat 

 appearance and the accommodation it affords, has been still further 

 improved by a new coat of paint, and a new set of Venetian blinds. 

 The ladies, therefore, who may now honor the Stand by their presence, 

 will be altogether protected from wind and weather, sun and glare — dis- 

 comforts they have hitherto, at times, been subjected to. 



The weighing of the Jockies was conducted as it was last season, in a 

 comfortable room in the basement of the Grand Stand, regularly 

 arranged for that special purpose. The patent weighing chair, imported 

 by the Club, we have already described. It was used again during this 

 meeting. It was found to work remarkably well, and greatly to facili- 

 tate the duties of the stewards. "We cannot too earnestly recommend 

 these machines to other Clubs throughout the country. 



We must not omit to notice the importation from England, by the 

 Club, of a veiy complete Timepiece, to enable the Judges to time the 

 horses with the greatest possible accuracy. It is in appearance a highly 

 finished clock, made by Dent, of London ; the dial plate is six inches in 

 diameter, the hour and minute hands are of gold, whilst by way of con- 

 trast, the more easily to designate them, the second hand, moving in a 

 separate circle, is of steel. It is an eight day movement, with patent 

 lever escapement, and its principle value to the Club consists, for the 

 purpose for which it is intended, in having a large stop or spring, by 

 which its action may be stopped every second, and set in motion again. 

 It is, altogether, a very valuable article. 



We confess, we have been much struck this season by the fact, and
