The arrangements for race course, the
amount OF prizes. and many other matters
relating to the successful operation Of the
club were discussed by Col. Owens, and
Messrs. John r. Young, w. II. Daniel,
Capt. John l.. Hammond and others. and
1t was decided to increase the membership
to 400 If possible and at least to $50. Col
Owens believed that there will be no trou-
bic to arrange with the agricultural society
for the use of the Ten Brock course, and
on motion committee Of five. consisting
of Messrs. j. N. johnson, w. H. Daniel,
Capt. John l.. Hammond, John R. Young,
and Capt. George w. Lamar, was ap-
pointed to confer with the owners Of Ten
Brock course and report to the jockey
club at an adjourned meeting on May 10,
what arrangements can be effected with the
agricultural society, and what repairs, ETC.,
will be necessary.
Referring to the present committee on
membership, its chairman, Mr.. Young,
said that he thought it should be now dis
charged and new committee be appointed
60 infuse new life in the club This propo-
sltlon was met with EXPLANATIONS OF NO
no." and Col. Owens, from the chair, said
that he thought the committee had done so
WELL the best thing to be done would be to
retain 1t, as it had certainly exceeded be-
yond expectation in the short time it had
been at work.
Mr.. Daniel offered resolution which
was adopted, that committee of fifteen,
to be divided into five subcommittee, be
appointed to solicit membership, aud thu
following were appointed by the chair:
No. /. John R. Young. chairman; Joseph
Hull and Charles H. Dorsett.
No. 2. w. II. Daniel, chairman; F. S.
Lathrop and I. Ballantyne.
No. 3. l.. Lppman, chairman; s. Guck-
enheimer and B. H Levy.
No. 4. r. w. Powers, chairman: John
Feeley and J. II. Furber.
No. 5. j. N. johnson, chairman; John X.
Garrett and A. w. Harmon.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Powers that
every member of the club use his individual
influence to increase the membership, which
suggestion was Y favorably received and
adopted.
1t was announced by Secretary Cohen
that the club now numbers las members,
and Mr.. Young stated that some of his
colleagues on the committee have names
which have not yet been handed in, and
| Col. Mike Brown of Barnwell has a list of
names of South Carolinians who desire to
| become members of the club. The number
| of new members elected yesterday is ninety
| two.
There was quite a general expression that
the first races on the course should be equal
to the best in the land, and an effort will be
made to have prizes aggregating $4,000, so
] that the best blood of the turf will come
| here.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the
| Pulaski house on Saturday, May 10, at
which time it is thought the present mem
bership will be doubled. and some action
taken looking to the lease or purchase of
| grounds for the club.
