IMPROVEMENTS AT JEROME PARK.

Important improvements are at this time being
made upon the grand stand at Jerome Park The
awnings in front of that structure to be sup
planted by handsome piazza extending its whole
length. This will be supported by substantial iron
pillars. and it will be broad enough to entirely
clude the sun from the seats in the stand. An en-
closure has been made at the south Of the grand
stand, and the small stands used by the book
makers to be removed from the betting grounds.
and this enclosure is to be used by "the
men with the bag aud pencil" and their patrons.
Here fortunes large and fortunes small are
to be made and lost. The beautiful lawn hereto
fore known the betting grounds" is to be con:
verted into saddling paddock. Water pipe has been
lad entirely around the with hydrants every
100 feet. The track is being ploughed the purpose
being to let lie during the winter that tine frost
may thoroughly pulverize it. The improvements
in course OF construction and those in contem-
plation at this point will cost about $1,000. The
American Jockey Club is vastly able to afford them.
for financially it in better condition than
at this time. It's membership is larger than at any
time IN the past. its income the present
ceeds that OF any previous year. and altogether the
condition OF the institution is decidedly healthy.
The improvements proposed ut Jerome Park will
add much to the comfort and pleasure of its patrons
and the race-gong people will rejoice that they
under way There is thing greatly needed ut
Jerome Park-that is, good steeplechase course
There ample grounds aud space ut Jerome Park
to construct the best steeplechase course in this
country il The club would only extend it into tho
upper field. next the church. This would greatly
the present and render rerunnng the
same ground wholly unnecessary. A stecplechase
course should be- if possible. ut least four miles in
length and IL the club should any time desire to
shorter one they easily do SO by start
ing at any given point in II instead Of at regular
starting post, and the remainder of the course
This Improvement be made with very little
pense or labor. and nothing would add more to the
grounds than grand and beautiful steeple-
chase course.-Spirn IF the Times.

was no explosive substance in the place,
so that the fire is believed to be the work
of incendiary. The watchman. Charles w.
Scheller, testified before Fire Marshal Thorne
yesterday that from the suddenness with which the

SPORTING EVENTS ABROAD.

SAD ACCIDENT TO THE NORTH DURHAM Fox
HouNDs-The Newcastle Chronicle of November 8
says:--"The second meet of the season of North
Durham foxhounds was at Stoney Gate yesterday
on tho top of the hills about o mile eastward OF
Houghton-C-Spring. but unfortunately the days
sport. which promised to be good one. was marred
by an accident to the pack OF o most lamentable
character The meet in question is a favorite one
with the hunt. and no less than one hum
dred and eghty-two horsemen took the field.
while tho assemblsge of foot people who drew
up from Sunderland and from the surrounding vii
lagos was something unprecedented for numbers.
aud every spot that promised to afford the most dis
tant view OF the sport was fully occupied and young
and old swarmed along tho roads and field paths IN
my riads. The place for trial was the excellent
cover ou the borders of Lambton Park. near
North Biddick. known as the new planta-
at home. He boltcd out to the eastward and got
good start. the hounds working TO cold ascent and
as they crossed the railway sheet might have
covered them. AS they worked across tho railway
the express train. which leaves Sunderland about
haifpast one o'clock, came around the curve. and
before anything could be done she dashed right
through the pack just as they about to clear
tho line. The utmost CONSERVATION resulted among
the hunt, nearly the whole of the members being in
sight and witnessing the accident. Mr. Maynard
the worthy master. was on the line at the time and
fully cognizant of tue fact las every ope
ese that 1t was utterly impossible for the strongest
force whips and huntsnen to have whipped the
dogs of in time to have averted the accident. As it
was, on coming TO count tho slatn IL was found
that three the best hounds in the pack had been
killed outright, while fourth had sustained diso-
cation to the shoulder. After the accident pack
drove fox round the base OF Peasner Hill but
the interposition of the foot people caused him to
try ascent but the hounds eventually pulled him
down close to the Earl of Durham's monument.
