A general meeting of the Jockey Club will be held
at Newmarket after the races on Wednesday next.
Notice of motion by the stewards .—" That a com-
mittee be appointed to consider the present condi-
tion of the turf. That the committee do consist of
not less than eleven members, and have power
to hold meetings when and where they think fit.
That the stewards shall, after due notice, summon a
general meeting of the club to consider the report of
said committee." In the event of the above motion
being carried, Colonel Lowther will move, " That no
member of the Jockey Club shall be placed on the com-
mittee who is not at the time an owner of racehorses."
By Mr. Chaplin--" To add to the rules and orders of the
Jockey Club That, upon the request of not less than
ten members, given in writing to the keeper of the
match-book, the stewards shall call a general meet-
ing of the club, to be held in London, at such time
