THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE
JOCKEY CLUB.

The annual general meeting of the Jockey Club was held
at the New Rooms, Newmarket, on Wednesday last. Pre-
sent—Admiral Roue, Lord Portsmouth, Lord Coventry,
stewards ; Mr. Alexander, Mr. Batson, Count Batthyany,
Duke of Beaufort, Mr. W. G. Craven, Sir H. Des Vceux,
Mr. G. W. Fitzwilliam, Mr. Greville, Sir J. Hawley, Mr.
Lowther, Mr. Payne, Lord W. Powlett, Lord Stamford,
Lord Stradbroke, Lord Strathmore, Mr. Saville, Colonel
Towneley, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Wil-
ton, and Lord Winchilsea. Admiral Rous in the chair.
The accounts for the year having been presented, Admi-
ral Rous proposed that Mr. Saville should be appointed
steward in his place.
Mr. SAVILE declined.
It was then moved by Mr. GREVILLE, and seconded by
Lord WM. POWLETT, that Admiral Rous be requested to
undertake the office again.
Admiral Rous having now vacated the chair, it was taken
by Lord Portsmouth, as senior steward, and Admiral Rous
left the room:
Sir JOSEPH HAWLEY objected to Mr. Greville's motion,
on the ground that it was not in accordance with Rule 1 of
the Jockey Club, and could not be carried without notice
being given according to Rule 40. He therefore moved
" that a regular notice should be given, and the question be
decided by ballot in the First Spring Meeting."
The motion was seconded by Lord WINCHILSEA, but
loot on a division, six members voting for it and the rest
against it.
It was then proposed by Sir JOSEPH HAWLEY, " That
Mr. Greville's motion should be decided by ballot ; but this
VMS objected to as unusual, and the question having been
put in the usual manner, Admiral Rous was re-elected by
a large majority.

It was unanimously resolved that the Puke of Beaufort be
appointed a member of the Bentinck Fund Committee, in
the place of Earl Zetland, who retires by rotation.
The answer of Mr. Blake to the letter addressed to him
in pursuance of the resolution passed on Thursday in the
Houghton Meeting, 1861, relative to the Croagh Patrick
case, was read to the meeting. In this answer, Mr. Blake,
after stating his reasons for objecting to the matter being
decided by the committee named by the Jockey Club, pro-
posed that the whole case be left to the decision of the three
members of the club, viz., Lord Derby, Lerd Exeter, and
Lord Zetland, by whose judgment he is willing to abide,
whatever it may be.
Resolved, " That a copy of Mr. Blake's letter be sent to
each of the three noblemen metioned, with an urgent re-
quest, on the part of the Jockey Club, that they will under-
take the case."

It was moved by Admiral Roes and seconded by Lord
COVENTRY, " That the present Ru e 41, on the subject of
starting, should be repealed and the following substituted."
" 41. The starter has authority to order the jockeys to
draw up in a line as far beyond the starting..post as he
may think necessary ; and any jockey disobeying the
orders of the starter, or taking any unfair advantage, may,
on the complaint of the starter, be fined or suspended from
riding, at the discretion of the stewards, according to the
degree of the offence ; such snap( nsion not to exceed twelve
months."

Sir JOSEPH HAWLEY and other members objected to the
proposed alteration, which was negatived on a division,

the numbers being—for Admiral Rous' motion, 9;-again;
it, 10.

On the recommendation of the Stewards, it was resolved
to repeal that part of Rule 13 which relates to the entry of
horses whose names have been changed, and to substitute
the following :—" If the name of a horse which has run be
changed, it is necessary, in entering the said horse, to give
his old as well as his new name in every nomination until
the change has been duly registered in the Book Calendar,
and if his name be changed again all his names must be re-
peated for the like period ; but if a horse's name be changed
before he has run in public it shall be sufficient to give his
new name in the first entry made after such change."
The question of compromises was postponed for future
consideration.

The resolutions of which Count Batthy any had given
notice were carried ; but it was agreed that the wording
of them should be further considered before they are
published.

Mr. ALEXANDER brought forward his motion relative to
the starter. It was seconded by Lord STRATHMORE, and
after some discussion was negatived, four members voting
for and the rest egaist it.
Adjourned.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING}—THURSDAY.
The morning broke hazily, but the interest taken in the
expected appearance of Caller Ou in the Biennial and of Old
Calabar in the Hundred sovereigns Sweepstakes caused an
increased attendance on the Heath. In the morning the
race which was to show forth the winner of last year's-St.
Leger occupied the whole attention of speculators, although
13 stood on the card, and 10 were certain to produce con-
tests. At 12 o'clock the sun peeped out, and continued to
shine the rest of the day. The great stake, with a percen-
tage for both second and third horses, stood first; and Caller
Ou was easily beaten by The Roe, who had on Wednesday
separated Asteroid and Ensign in the Derby trial, thus
proving the opinion formed by his party, with regard to
the last-named horse, to be substantially correct. A quick
colt, from the French stable, won the Three-quarters of a
Mile Sweepstakes very cleverly, and a most exciting race
occurred in the Sale Stakes, the winner and the second
touching each other as they passed the winning post. Old
Calabar was reserved for the great event of the Spring
meeting, and did not make his appearance with Costa and
Lorelei. Some little betting took place on events to come,
and is quoted below.
