eitieetly the execu-
tion of large cominkeion is at Northampton,
where in former y cos significant changes have been made
in the betting on the Cheater CNiip, Two Thousand, and
Derby. The meeting under notice is not likely to furnish
any exception to the rule.
The arrangements fur conducting the peoceedings will be
on the mod loge scale of cempletemen sad the carrying
of than out will be entrusted to the recognised Jockey Club
officials, whose long experience of the °unrest' duties attach-
* to their respective peets, aid whose practical acquaint-
mace with the law. and eustoma of bone mooing, have seised
for them the coaddeace of the mart* eeenmuaity, and are
a sufficient guarantee of the efficisacy of the executive de-
partment. The stewards are the Earl of Coventry, the
Earl of Uxbridge, sod Earl Spencer. The Messrs.
Weatherby will be in attendance to give their mussel sad
help on all questions that may arise as to the making of
slakes and the declarations of forfeit. Mr. James Mu-
nroe'. of Newmarket, will be the clerk of the scales. Mr. J.
F. Clark will be the judge, end the stone. deg will be en-
trusted to Mr. 11.4norre. Under the well tried manage-
ment of the Messrs. Marshall, pin et Xis, not the most
seemingly ussigeihcant detail in the arraagemente will be
neglected, for it is their &Meshes to trifle" which has
eecohlieheol for Northampton Races a reputation equal to
that of the most important meeting in the kingdom. The
Clerk of the Comes sad the committee who so cordially
co-operate with him to putt* his suggestions into mann',
have evidratly borne in lend the wore that make
petfectioe sad that perfection is no trifle. More commo-
dious and cosmonaut offices than are provided
for the traneactioa of business in the Grand
tined at Northampton are sot to be era with oe nay other
racecourse, and they contrast non favourably with the
sawn accommodation furnished st Newmarket, and with
the dark ouefined "dungeons" to which reporters, race
officals, and jockeys, are tamiabed at Epsom.
The railway areangemosts will fully meet the require-
meets of the public. A sperMl train will leave the Euston
station on Tuesday and Wedateday mornings at 9.15, sod
niers from Northampton on the ern* of each day at
b. 15. The farm are extremely moderate. and the halter
for reaching the town thus liberally provided by the railway
tempo y will, doubtless, be eagerly adopted and wpm-
seated by the nine-going community. Return haste at
erdseary fares from London to Northampton, imbed on
Tuesday, are imitable to return by my train up to sad
holed:mg Wader...lay.

course is is a meat satisfactory condition, sad that the appli-
cations for .tabling were never more numerous. By this

will be located in the town.
