THE JOCKEY CLUB.

A meeting of this club was held in. Old Burlington-
street on Friday—Present : Mr. W. G. Craven ; Hon.
Admiral Rous and the Duke of Beaufort, stewards ;
Mr. G. Payne, General Peel, Colonel Towneley, Lord
Henry Lennox, Mr. Sutton, and Capt. Seymour; whea it
was decided to continue the Ascot Spring Meeting, the
programme )f which will appear in this day's
"Calendar."

The Soiled Dove case came before the Stewards, who,
after the reading of Professor Spooner's certificate that the
mare is three •ears old, and rising four, disqualified Soiled
Dove for all races she has won; and she will hereafter be
subject to all :he penalties exacted in the 17th Rule of the
" Laws of lincing." The stewards are awaiting further
evidence befcro they give any decision respecting the per-
petrators of tie fraud. The question as to the bets will be
decided by the Committee of Tattersall's.

STOCKTON lAcEs.—On the Ist of January the following
stakes for this meeting will close and name :—The Cleve-
land Stakes, for then two year olds; and the Stockton four
year old Claret Stakes, for yearlings of 1866, to run as

four year oks in 1869. vt , ' ;
A promising yearling sister to Salamanca, and a year-
ling filly by Donateur out of Tisiphone (The Tartar's
dam), bred by Mr. R. Wright, of Richmond, have joined
H. Clay's string at Mead's House, Eastbourne, Sussex.
Watchbox, t yrs, who was knocked down to Mr. Wad-
dington at lattersall's on Monday last for 36 guineas,
was immediably resold to John Nightingall for "fifty,'
and, together with Freedom, 3 yrs, has joined his string at
Epsom.

Delight, $ yrs, who made such a sensation in the spring
by running away with the City and Suburban, and after-
wards broke down in the Chester Cup, is dead.

Charming Roman was. scratched to Mr. J. Swindells,
jun., on Thursday last, at 10.30 a.m., for the Hurdle Race
at Manchester on Jau. 1.

The Royal Artillery Steeplechases are fixed for Thurs.
day, March 4,
The Alexatdria (Egypt) Races come off on Jan. 5

NORTHAMPTON.—The programme for this meeting has
been very materially strengthened by the addition of 100
sovs instead of 50 to the long-established two year old
race, the Althorp Park, and doing away with all deduc-
tions from the winners. A new race for hunters, to which
100 sovs is Lidded, has also been introduced. This race
has been named The Waterloo Gorse Stakes, that being
the covert which provided the fox in the memorable run
last season.

DOWN ROYAL CORPORATION RACES (MAZE COURSE),
IRELAND.—The following stakes will close and name for
this meeting on the first Tuesday in January, namely, the
Kilwarlin Stakes of 5 sous each, with 100 added, for now
yearlings, to run as two year olds in 1867 ; and the North
of Ireland Produce Stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50
added, for the produce of mares covered in 1866, to run as
two year olds in 1869.

DURHAM EACH; 1867.-.. The stakes for this meeting will
close and name on the first Tuesday in January, namely,
the Durham Handicap of 10 sovs each, h ft, and 2 if de-
clared, with 1)0 added, for all ages ; and the Lambton
Stakes of 5 sacs each, with 50 added, for two and three
year olds, weight for age.

BLAIR ATROL.—While being led out to exercise at Fair-
field, a few days since the distinguished son of Blink
Bonny stepped with his near hind foot on a trap door
which covers a drain, a plank of which gave way. Had
the trap given way altogether, Mr. Jackson might have
been a loser of some thousands ;
as it was, we are pleased
to say that the white-faced chestnut escaped with a few
slight bruises above his hock, and is now perfectly himself
again.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE RACES, 1867.—These races will
take place on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of June, and the
large sum of 1,800 sovs will be added to the various stakes,
out of which sum 300 sovs will be added to the Northum-
berland Plate, besides which 50 BM or a service of silver
plate of that value will be given to the trainer of the win-
ner of that race, in commemoration of the new manage-
ment of Newcastle Races. Plans are preparing for a new
Stewards' Stand, which will be completed and ready for
lice at the June Meeting : it is intended to be a neat, com-
modious, and graceful building. Three stakes close and
name on the Ist of January, namely, the Tyro Stakes of 5
sovs each, with 150 added, for yearlings of 1866, to run as
two year olds in 1367 ; the North Derby of 10 soya each,
h ft, with 200 added, for yearlings of 1866, to run as three
year olds in 1868; and the Seaton Dolaval Stakes of 10
sovs each, h ft, with 200 added, for foals of 1866, to run as
two year olds in 1868 ; all the additions to the stakes with-
out deductions.

THE ENGLISH TURF.—We give the events at
the Leamington and Warwick hunt races, in which Mr.
Ten Broeck was concerned. He was not successful on
the whole, winning but once out of many starts. A letter
has been sent over here, in which it is claimed that Fitzroy,
who broke his log at Newmarket, was the best two-yr-old
in England. We have our doubts about this, and remem-
ber to have heard something of the same sort about Paris,
who is of no account now, and never was of much.
