THE JOCKEY CLUB.
The Spring Meeting New stables at the
Track.

Track.
Ata meeting of the National Jockey
Club last night II was decided that the
spring meeting should begin on Thurs
day, April 20, and continue to Friday,
May 4, inclusive. There will be five
races each day. The stake events will
number eight, to winch the added money
will be $1,000; eight purse races at 5000
each, and twenty-four purse races at
$500, total of $4,000 in added money
for ei ght days racing. Two new stakes
have been added; one handicap, at a
mile for all ages, TO be called the Con.
gress Handicap, with $500 added. The
other is handicap steeplechase, which
has not yet been named, with $500 added.
Here is a good chance for some enter
prising business man to come in and add
couple of hundred and have the stake
named after him.
1t is understood that this will be the
only steeplechase of the meeting, Messrs.
Hohingshead and Oyster of the pro-
sort of sport. The value of the National
stakes has been increased from $500 TO
$1,000. The Army and Navy, Youthful
and Analostan stakes from 500 TO $500.
The Improvements that the club asks
the Fair Association TO make is the tin
ming Of the roofs of five stables on the
Hill, converting the old machinery hall
and art gallery into elegant stables, and
building new judges stand. The entire
cost will not exceed $1,000 or 5000. The
outlook for the spring meeting is very
bright.
