At •e, late Meeting of the Mayor and Common Council in
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the Corporation liberally granted leave
for makingthe projected improvement of -.thCßAce-ctiurse on
the Town foor ; in consequence of which the work was- corn.
nienced on Monday --sti'nnip--)ltt and will be coMpleted witliout
delay; The owners of horses, as well as the.grcoms and others
concerned in theinanagement of them, had 'long complained,
that the part of thd•Race.ground 'from the top'Of the hill to the
bottom, was not only dangerous for the riders; • but had also
proved,: in many instances; _ruinous to the horses. This was
so well knowritthat several Gentlemen of the turf had declined
sending their horses' to NeweaStle on account of the steepness
and hardness of the hill. To . remedy this evil, different im-
provements have from time to time been suggested; but .the
plan of directing thccourse from the commencement of the rile
of the hill, therctrnssing the Moor, and joining the course again
at the foot of the has been approved of, as decidedly the
best. • By this meats both the rise and the fall of the hill will
be avoided, and thq tents,,being placed to the west of- the new
line of the course,. will have the whole of the racing spectacle
view. This alteration, it is calcidated, wilfbe of great advan-
tage to the town, as it will doubtless bring - more horses, and
consequently more company to the Races: • The requisition for.
this improvement having been made to the .Mavor, Auhone
Sorties, Esq. by Mr. John Cookson, on behalf ol* the 'Gentle-
men of the turf, it is but justice to the chief Magistrate to re-
mark, that he exerted himself with the greatest candour and
liberality to remove every obstacle and give the utmost facility
to the improvement,proposed so evidently conduciVe to the
publicinterest; in which'he .was zealously supported by the
present Sheriff; Alfred Hall, Esq. The Burgesses also readily
acceded to the proposal, stipulating that the keys of ..,the chains
should as heretofore be lodged in the hands of the Stewards,
and at the suggestion corona of the Ilerbage Committee, it was
finally agreed that the Mayor, for the time being -should hold
one of *e keys, and be empowered to giant leave for any race
which (night bejequested by gentlemen, on payment of two
guineas for each race. The money, to be paid to the Stewards,
and by them to be applied tnthe improvement of the herbage.
By the alteration of the course the Burgesses are expected to
gain about 24 or 30 acres of herbage. There is every reason' CO
believe that the expence incurred by the improvement will be
moderate, and the herbage. little it at all injured,. as, where
levelling may be necessary, thesods will be pared off, and after-
wards carefully laid down again. The foLloviing subscriptions
for completing the work/have been received :-I`he Corporation
