Mr. Payne's Farthingale, Bst 71b, agst Mr. Drinkald's
The Dark Lady—off by consent.
The weather was very fine, but the attendance mode-
rate. The experiment of enclosing the betting ring on
the flat (the lower one being given up), and confining it
to the subscribers of half a guinea weekly, or two gui-
neas annually, was commenced this meeting, and although
it has not met with unanimous approval, will, we have
no doubt, when some alterations have been made,
answer the purpose aimed at, viz., that of excluding per-
sons whose intrusion has long been a source of great
annoyance. We would suggest that the horse gates
shonld be at the side, in the centre of the rails; this
would not only improve the ingress and egress for horse-
men, but would prevent much of the danger to which
the foot people are exposed by the gates being so close to
the entrances to the inner circle. It is to be hoped that
similar accommodation will be provided at the Duke's
Stand.
