MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New-
market on Wednesday in the First Spring Meeting ; pre-
sent—The Duke of Beaufort, Admiral Rous, and Lord
Portsmouth, stewards ; Mr. Alexander, Mr. Barne, Mr.
Batson, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Ciifden, Lord Coventry,
Mr. W. S. Crawfurd, Mr. Etwall, Mr. Greville, Sir J.
Hawley, Mr. Lowther, Mr. Payne, Mr. Savile, Lord Stam-
ford, Lord Stradbioke, Lord Strathmore, and Lord Win-
chelsea.

A ballot took place ; Lord Courtenay was elected a -mem-
ber of the club, and was afterwards present at the meeting.
Resolution proposed by the Duke of Beaufort, and se-
conded by Lord Winchelsea :—" That the Jockey Club de-
precate the interference of the Legislature in fixing the
weights to be carried by race horses."
Lord Stradbroke proposed to substitute the word "regret"
for "deprecate," but the amendment was not seconded, and
the original resolution passed unanimously.
It was moved by Mr. Greville, seconded by Lord Ports-
mouth, and resolved unanimously—" That a petition be
presented by the Jockey Club to the House of Lords, pray-
ing their lordships not to pass a bill entitled 'An Act to
prevent the entering or running horses carrying very light
weights.' "
It was moved by Sir Joseph Hawley, seconded by Mr.
Lowther, and unanimously resolved —" That if a horse's
name be changed it shall be necessary, in entering the said
horse, to give his old as well as his new name in every no-
mination for twelve months; and if his name is changed
again, all his names must be repeated for the like period;
and nominations made contrary to this regulation shall be
invalid."

Sir J. Hawley brought under the notice of the meeting
the abuses arising from the practice of entering horses in
fictitious names. The importance of the subject was re-
cognised by the members present, and after some discussion
it was resolved that this question should be further con-
sidered at the next meeting of the club.
Adjourned.

COLONIAL PC►ST-OFFICES.—The expediency of
calling upon the cc donies to manage their own post-offices
has been affirmed. After the Ist May (or the Ist of June in
Jamaica) the BrititshPost-office will no longer have direction
of any colonial pc ist-office, except those at the military sta-
tion at Gibraltar ?►nd 'Service Gazette.
