rrliE continued indisposition of Mr. WILLIAM LYNN,
1 the Proprietor of the Aintree Race-course, under whose
excellent management the Liverpool Races have acquired
, such a pre-eminence in the sporting world, compels him to
retire from the field of active operations, for the purpose of
recruiting his health.
A. number of the most influential Noblemen and Gentle-
men, patrons of the turf, anxious that the Liverpool Meet-
ings should be conducted with the same respectability and
spirit by which they have hitherto been distinguished, think
it a fitting opportunity for placing the future arrangements
of the Races on a more secure and permanent footing than
individual enterprize, however great, could effect. By this
means a concentration of powerful patronage, combined with
- active individual interest and enterprise, will be secured; a
result which must ensure to the undertaking even a greater
sr, share of success than it has yet experienced.
In accordance with the above feeling, the following ar-
li rangements have been made for carrying the purpose into
t effect :
41 The Property will be divided into 1,000 Proprietorships, at
s 4 Twenty-five pounds each.
is Each Proprietor will be entitled to a transferable Silver
VI Ticket of admission to the Grand Stand at all Racing Meet-
"o4 ings, in addition to his proportion of the annual profits ; the
Silver Ticket alone will realize a per centage of near 10 per
cent. The present annual income and expenditure, in the
VA% possession of Mr. HUNTER, of the firm of Messrs. Shackle-
ton, Wright, and Hunter, Solicitors, who has kept the ac-
counts of the concern since its establishment, will show, that
the direct profits will yield a handsome return for the capital
invested.
Each Subscriber, upon paying the sum of £lO, and ex-
o4 ecuting the deed of settlement at the office of Messrs.
'1 SHACKLETON, WRIGHT, and HUNTER, to have delivered to
"'' him a ticket which will entitle him to a free admission on
41 the Grand Stand at the next ensuing Races ; and upon pay-
Tv ment of the remainder, viz., £l5 to be paid within twelve
months, as the Directors shall order, each Subscriber shall
have a silver ticket, and a certificate of proprietorship.
Application for Proprietors' tickets to be made to Messrs.
SHACKLETON, WRIGHT, and HUNTER, Brunswick-street,

and Messrs. DANIEL and JOHN NEILSON, Share Brokers,
Liverpool.
A holder of less than five Proprietors' tickets, to have one
vote of five two votes, and for every further five silver
Alt '
hot tickets beyond that number an additional vote.
The affairs of the Race Course to be under the manage-
ment of two Committees, to be chosen in the manner set
• forth in the deed of settlement.
The one Committee selected from Noblemen and Gentle-
men connected with the turf, to be called the Racing Com-

mittee, who shall have the fixing of all races ; the other
#«F'= Committee to have, the management of the affairs of the
Race Course, &c., and to be called Directors ; and to be
chosen from the body of Subscribers generally.
The property to be vested' in the five Trustees named
- above.

It will be superfluous to enumerate the many advantages
which the Aintree Race Course possesses over every other
in this part of the kingdom, whether considered with refer-
ence to the splendour of the buildings, the extent and beauty
of the course itself, or its locality, so central for all the nor-
thern supporters of the turf. It is unquestionable, however,
that, under a judicious'arrangement, like the one now pro-
, posed, these advantages, might be greatly extended, and be
made to increase with each succeeding year.
y1f,14 A most important alteration has already been made by the
111 Racing Committee; that is, the removal of the Heaton
Park Races to Liverpool, as an Autumn Meeting, which
must unquestionably add very materially to its future cele-
r- brity and value.

Mr. WM. LYNN, in calling the attention of the Public
to the above advertisement, begs to observe, that whilst his
state of health precludes the possibility of his continuing the
=remitting exertions he has hitherto devoted to the Liver-
-1 Races, he hopes (it being his intention to continue a
proprietor) to be enabled to render his best assistance to the
Directors in carrying out the proposed plans of the Noble-
men and Gentlemen forming the Racing Committee.
Mr. L. begs further to observe to the Subscribers, that
their first free admission to the Grand Stand will be at the
ens*i.Great Steeple Chase, Tickets for which will be deli-
_, on paying the first instalment of Ten Pounds.

FERGUSON begs leave respectfully to announce to
e.l • his Friends and the Public in general, that he has taken
the PREMISES now occupied by Mr. BRIGHT, No. 4,
BOLD-STREET, opposite the LYCEUM NEWS-ROOM,
which he expects to open early in April next ; also, that he is
SELLING OFF HIS PRESENT STOCK

AT PRIME COST and` UNDER.

jr AND J. FIGGINS, TYPE-FOUNDERS, beg leave
V • most respectfully to draw the attention of the Pro-
prietors of Newspapers, and Printers in general, to the
appearance of the STANDARD, the new. Types upon which it
is this day printed having been cast at their Foundry.
V. and J. F. flatter themselves that, `in beauty and unifor-
mity, they have never been surpassed, and beg to assure the
trade that the principle upon which these Founts are cut, and
the Metal with which they are cast, will insure Durability.
Upon this important point, V. and J. F. are anxious that the
wear of these Types may be considered a test of the general
character of their manufacture, and hope, in course Of time,
to be favoured with the confidence of the Liverpool trade in
a degree equal to that which they have enjoyed in London for
nearly fifty years, during which period they have had the ho-
nour of supplying a great portion of the Metropolitan Daily
and Weekly Journals, the Proprietors of which can bear
testimony to the superiority of the Type, in that most essen-
tial quality, DURABILITY. In conclusion, V. and J. F. beg
leave most earnestly, but respectfully, to solicit the patronage
of the Proprietors of the Liverpool Papers.
N.B.—Founts, of any weight, ready for delivery at a few
day's notice.
