The Committee of Management have the pleasure to an-
nounce that these Grounds were on SATURDAY, the 25th of
May, opened for the first time since, by the new arrangement
of them, they became a complete enclosure free from any foot-
path and from the ingress of improper persons. The brilliant
and immense assemblage of the Nobility and Gentry, includ-
ing his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke of Russia and their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who
honoured the Grounds with their presence on that occasion,
and who expressed their high approbation and admiration of
the sports of the day (although got up on four days' notice only),
proved to the Committee that their anticipations have been re-
alized, that this Establishment would, by proper attention, be-
come the most attractive addition to the innocent and healthy
amusements of London created during the last century. Not a
gambling-booth or table, not a single drunken, riotous, disorderly,
or ill behaved person, or mendicant, was to be seen on the grounds.
Tl.e grounds have been so laid out as to form a Race Course,
and also a separate Steeple Chase Course, whereon Races of
any extent or distance may be run. The Mile Course is nearly
straight, the Half-mile perfectly so ; and, by the use of tan on
the Course, the running ground is being rendered soft and
elastic, and fitted for the training and running of the best
horses in the country. Also, the whole distance of a race of
any length can be seen throughout from the hill by thousands of
spectators, where, protected by2a strong railing from all intru-
sion of carriages or horsemen, ladies, and children are in perfect
safety. The fitness of these grounds for either Races or Steeple
Chases is unequalled, while the close approximation of London
enables owners of horses to make Matches on one day and
run them on the next, and their friends witness them with an
expenditure of about one hour of time.
Two public days for Races will be held on Monday, the 17th,
and Wednesday, the 19th of June, for a Plate of One Hundred
Guineas, and several other Stakes.
Cricket-grounds have already been prepared, and are in use;
and Archery Shooting with the Bow at the Poppingjay, and
other healthy open air recreations, none of which will in the
slightest degree interfere with the Race-course or with Eques-
trians, will speedily be furnished.
On public days the charges for admission are—
Four-wheeled Carriage ... ss. Od.
Two-wheeled ditto 3s. Od.
Horseman
Pedestrians ..
But on all other days the charges for admission are greatly less.

lIENEKEY and COMPANY.—GRAY'S
INN WINE ESTABLISHMENT, t 3, High Hol-
born. Established 1831. WILLIAM KISLINGBURY,
the SURVIVING PARTNER of Mr. HENEKEY, begs
to inform his Friends and the Public, that no alteration in the
management or direction of this Establishment has taken place
in consequence of Mr. Henekey's decease, and that the business
is continued precisely as heretofore.
W. K. having (in conformity with the arrangements in their
deed of Partnership) purchased the whole of his late Partner's
share and interest therein, the Stock and Capital employed re-
main undisturbed; and, as the selection and purchasing of
Wines, &c., was uniformly intrusted to the sole judgment and
discretion of W. K., he can with confidence assure the nume-
rous Friends of the Firm that the high character and quality of
the Wines, &e., which have raised the Establishment to its
present eminence, will be fully sustained.
