neral feeling of satisfactory engagement. The same horses
competing for stakes at all the race meetings is like living
on mild kail made hot for a change, with Glauber salts as
an occasional variety; it purges the people of all sense of
such enjoyments, and by thus weakening the internal tis•
sues of the turf, causes it to droop into inanition for want of
that judicious treatment and nourishing support which it
ought to rcccive ; but poor astzcotiand Limy be, with cfiicials
of perseverance, business habits, and position, appointed at
each place,the wherewithal can surely be found in the whole
country to supply annually for sax meetings that which is
barely equivalent to the value of one in England. Let the
representatives of each place In ing their meetings to the bar
of public opinion, and by warmly advocating the cause gain
a favourable money verdict for the coming session,.and
"Iconoclast" will gladly be the historian of their successes,
and give to each their meed of praise. Edinburgh, Kelso,
and Airdrie have grand stands erected for the comfort of
their patrons. Perth and Lanark have simply temporary
wooden erections, which scarcely represent stands, grand or
otherwise, while Ayr is a spurious exception, which prides
itself on what is termed a "view house," built of stone,
situate near the distance post, and separated from the course
by a turnpike-road, with, however, a wooden erection in ad-
dj4lKL. It is to be hoped that each place will provide the very
&,eessary requisite, either through the aids of their corpo-
rations or the friendly and generous assistance of some of
the local magnates, for in the meantime they lose a certain
amount of revenue that would be created from such sources,
and ultimately revert to the annual advancement of each
meeting. Mr. Currie has sanguine hopes of the corner
stone of such a building being laid ere long at Lanark, and
it is the cordial wish of all interested in the Turf that his
aspirations may be realised, and that the others will make
running for the same goal; it is also in the interests of each
town that immediate support should be accorded for this
purpose, and by thus creating additional comfort to the on-
lookers secure an increase of visitors and consequent
pecuniary profit to the inhabitants of their respective
districts. If these ideas aro ever brought within the bliss-
ful pal 3 of possibility it is to be hoped the architects will
not forget the fourth estate in their plans, for they have
hitherto been neglectful in providing for reporters, whose
only accommodation is a noisy weighing room at a desk the
size of your hat crown, with their elbows hustled and jostled
by the surging throng to an extent that renders it requisite
to indulge in the unpleasant satisfaction of elaborating
reports at an hotel afterwards, when the inner man is
craving for the social enjoyments of the table.
