A meeting of the Jockey Club was held, after the
races this afternoon, for the purpose of taking into con •
sideration a proposed deviation of the Newmarket Rail-
way Extension to Bury and Thetford, by which the
directors sought, not only to save 150,0001., by avoiding
the construction of the tunnel, but to complete the line at
least twelve months within the period originally contem-
plated. The Duke of Rutland, Lord George Sentinel,
and many others, were favourable to the alteration, but
the trainers and jockies having petitioned against it, on
the ground that it would injure the exercise ground, the
scheme was negatived. The proposal to change the time
of running the two great October handicaps was also
negatived. The memorial of Messrs. W. Stabbings and
Braham was also taken into consideration, and the reso-
lution by which they were forbidden to go on the course,
was rescinded.
Mr. John Day has challenged for the whip.
