MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB.
(From the .Racing Calendar.)
A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New-
market on Friday in the First Spring Meeting. Present—
Admiral Rom and Mr. Alexander (stewards), Lord Chester-
field, Mr. G. W. Fitzwilliam, Sir J. Hawley, Lord W.
Powlett, Lord Stamford, Lord Wilton, and Lord Win-

chilsea.
The proposed amendments of rule 42 were agreed to, and
the rule now stands as follows :
"42. The starter has authority to order the jockeys to
draw up in a line as far behind the starting-post as he may
think necessary; and any jockey disobeying the orders of
the starter, or taking any unfair advantage, shall be
punished by fine or suspension, according to the nature and
degree of his offence, at the discretion of the stewards,
"No jockey can be suspended beyond the meeting at
which the offence is committed, unless the case has been
heard by the three stewards of the Jockey Club, and in the
absence of any of the stewards a member or members of the
Jockey Club shall be deputed to act for the steward or
stewards absent.
"The punishment inflicted shall not be declared till after
the last race of the day ou which it is awarded.
"A sentence duly passed upon a jockey cannot be remitted
by the stewards without the authority of a general meeting
of the Jockey Club.
" The starter is prohibited from making a running start;
the horses must walk up, and be started from a walk, and if
the starter, from negligence or inattention, allows a start to
take place on the wrong side of the starting post he shall be
fined a sum of money not exceeding £5O, and the start shall
be declared null and void."
It was moved by Admiral Rovs, and unanimously re-
solved,—
"That Rule 4, defining a maiden horse or mare, should
be amended by the addition of the words in any country."'
It now reads thus :
"4. A maiden horse or mare is one that has never won a
plate or sweepstakes in any country."
Two notices of motions were given for the next meeting
of the Jockey Club.
The stewards were empowered to enter into an arrange-
ment with the occupiers of the training ground called the
Limekilns to keep their sheep off till after the Houghton
Meeting.
By Sir J. Hawley—" That horses trained at Newmarket
shall in future pay a larger heath-tax than those which only
go there to run."
By Lord Winchilsea—" That the privilege accorded to
the members of White's, Brookes's, and Boodle's Club, o:
becoming members of the rooms without ballot be rescinded.'

lead of Lady Williams and Tomfoolery, who were on the
near side. The rest were all together at the distance, ex-
cept Niobe (who burst a blo d vessel, and was pulled up),

before reaching the enclosure, where the Kennet .'s colt and

the lead for a few hundred yards, and then Sycophant went
in front, followed by Raglan, Naomi, and Princess Vocqsal;
Dr. Syntax, Isoline, and Merry Maid lying off. Turning
out of the straight course, near the Coombe-road, Raglan
fell, and though he rolled over, and subsequently escaped,
fortunately the jockey, Deacon, was not injured. After
this accident Sycophant was followed by the Naomi filly,
Isoline, and Dr. Syntax in the order named. On return-
ing into the straight Isoline took closer order, and half a
mile from home held a slight lead on the whip hand of
Sycophant, Merry Maid, and Dr. Syntax, who came in a
line to the distance, where Mr. Brayley's horse was in
difficulties, and shortly afterwards Merry Maid hung out
signals of distress. Opposite the stand Dr. Syntax
made his final effort, but failed to reach Isoline, who
won easily by three lengths. A similar distance sepa-
rated the second and third. Princess Vocqsal did not pass
the post.
