How the Club House and Grounds Are Being Improved. Jerome Park never looked better at this early sea- fon than now, although the days of bright sunshine ‘vouehsafed the inhabitants of this latitude since the departure of winter can be remembered without much mental exertion, Tho grass is growing rapidly and in & week or so will be one bright field of waving emerald; tho dry leaves and twigs, the accumalation of the dreary months, have all been gathered and re- moved trom the grounds; the commodious stables have been thoroughly cleaned and made fresh and | pleasant looking by the proper application of labor, and the track is in excellent condition for the prepara- tory work which thoroughbred horses are now in need ol Never since the organization of the American Jockey Ciub has the track been in such shape at so -early a date in the spring, It suffered yo little by the eating and driving storms of the inactive season that Mt required less than two hours’ work to make the tew trivial repairs necessary. Nov only are the grounds receiving tbat careful attention always given them in the spring, but the club house has been in the hands of a corps of mechanics and cleaners tor three or four weeks past. ‘This elegant, capacious And admirably arranged structure never appeared more attractive than at present, [t has been newly painted inside and outside; it bas received new furni- ture, new carpets and new appointments in every par- ticular, Great taste bus been displayed in this work, as she harmony of colors 18 so marked it demands instant Fecognition by the visitor.

The handsome appearance of tue grounds and the gresh and neat look of the club house are not “ alone the present attractions at Jerome Park, For some time past there bave been many prominent rac- tng stables there, the trainers of euch taking advan- sage of every day of pleasant weasher to give their pets the airing and exercise needed by them. Nearly Binety horses are already at ihe Park, aud tho number will be increased as the days roll on to such an extent that there aimitsot but litte doubt that alot of 200 or more will be on the grounds to take part in the opening inceting.

Loriliard’s, of well known repute | and inany victories; Charles Le Livyd’s, a caretul iner, in charge of ‘some of the best im the country, weralt being wt the head of the number; D. D. Withers, with his imported stock from England, and there is no more earnest supporter of the turf iv this country than this gentleman; J. 8. Pryor’s lot of mine or ten, the property of Messrs, Grinstead, Morris and others; Wm, Astor's selected few, umong them Vagrant; Charles Keed’s pretentious establishment, | and others, making a grand total of anexceptionabio fiyers, These, with the numerous establishments trom Maryland and’ the South and West, will take a prom- | | {nent part in the opening meeting of Jerome Park, which makes it appear beyond a doubt that success | must attend the introduction to the Eastern racing | season of 1877, FLEETWOOD PARK, | THE COMING TROTTING SEASON—MELTINGS AL- READY ARRANGED—A PROMISING OUTLOOK. Mr. Gates H, Barnard, member of the Atlantic Dis- | trict Board of Appeals of the National Trotting Asso- ciation, will, the coming season, again assume the | management of Fleetwood Park, This gentleman did | much last year to revive the fallen fortunes of the Morrisania track, but the job he then took in hand was of such @ character that only 4 man of nerve and persistency could hope to succeed, it is univer- sally acknowledged among the trotting fraternity in this vicinity that success did attend Mr. Barnard’s efforts in 1876, und with this indorsement to his credit he goes into business for the year 1877, meaning to give the public of New York first class trotiing sport without any of the many drawbacks which, unfortu- nately, have done so much forwlong time past to bring | | the pleasant amusement into disrepute. The track und | 4 surroundiags already begin to take on the appear ance of activity. A corps of laborers are clean- ing up the rubbish that accumwulatea during the winter months, ‘hat part of the fence about the course blown down by the numerous gales which of lute have swept over tds portion of the country is being repaired, while a project is on foot to make the inner eld more attractive than it has ever been, Tn addition the club house is to be thoroughly painted inside aud outside, and the several stands are to be made to present a neat appearance TUK MAY TROTTING MEETING, First on the programme of the year’s fixtures is the May trotung meeting of four days, Toese will Lo | May 29, 30, 31 and June 1, during which eight events | will be decided and $¥,000 in premiums distributed, ‘The sports will open with a purse of $1,000 for horses | that uever beat 2:38, und this will doubtless bring a large tield to the score, The same day the 2:24 purse, | also of $1,000, will occupy the attention of the spec- | tators, the (wo events giving thom ample amusement for tue occasfon.

REVIVAL OF STAGE COACHING FROM A MEDICAL ASPECT. {From the (London) Medical Press.) We are giad \o see tbat the revival of stage coaching bids (air to be a greater success than most people an- ticipated, Not only will the coaches that have been lately running continue on the road, but also several new projects are ip contemplation, The first coach of the seasop is the Guilford une, Tdis bas already begun to run as far as Cobham, aud on April 14 will run the whole distance, The Portsmouth team will soon take a new route through some of the finest scenery of Surrey and Hants. It will not be lung before the Windsor, Dorking and St. ‘A/bans coaches are on the road, while the well known Brighton coach will con- tinue to rum daily as usual. Indeed, we have every prospect that other coaches, taking other routes, will be started, not only in London, but that the good ex- ampie will be {ollowed in some of oar large provincial towns. From a sanitary point of view, and with respect to those who are wore in search of health than engayed on business, we look upon this little revival of stage coaching as one of the bappieat innovations that could be made upon our usual mode of travelling, There can be no doubt that iv many cases travelling by rail. way gocs a good way towurd defeating the very object for which the jourvey is andertakeu, The time spent inthe train may wot be long, but is more than tinie lost, The great fatigue, the headache, the giddiness or sickuess, (he shake to the system and other eymp, toms which many people expericuce who are in good heaith, ate often not recovered trom for two or three duys alter their arrival at their favorite health resort, Consequently the time they huve lost, as far as the improvement of their health is concerned, 16 much longer than the Lime they would have apeut had they | travelied by coach, and not one moment of which | would bave been thrown away, bul, on the contrary, Tent in the moat healthy and enjoyable of pursuics Besides, if, ag philosophers say, human happiness de- pends upon the multipheity of our mpvcent enjoy- ments, there must be & great fallacy in rusting down, as so many of us do, to some watering place to spend all our too short holiday in a most Thonotonous and far from healthy round of pleas- ures, {John bull with bis wileand family, sacrificed two or three days of the fortnight he speuds im jouug- ing abvut the sands in che morning and the prome- bades 1u the afternoou to @ bracing and delignttul ride op the top of a stage Couch through, perhaps, some ‘of the most picturesque scenery of Kvgland, would not bis health and bis spirits, and even bis love for his nutive country, ve enbunced tbereby? We think tho whole projession will agree with Us on this point The httle evils resuiting to beaith from raliway trav- | elling have beén exposed by one of two eminent wom- bors, but the great benedlt which persons in search of beulth would derive trom driving or being driven in | the opea air, and amid the varied aud ever-varying charms of rural scenery, Instead of spending their time wm the manner just spoken of, has almost entirely escaped the notice of the profession, und is too olten forgottag when We are seuding our patients tora ittie Shauge of air’?

These are advantages which are uot within the reach of (hose who either rush fram place to place, or who scrambie down by rail to the seaside, where they become us much a Uxture as the ‘oldest inhabi- tanv” of the place, Even the mere pleasure of being | couveyed rapidly through the country ou the top of a well uppormted couch ts much greater than many peo- ple imagine. Dr. Samuel Jouuson told Boswell one day that he knew of no greater pleasure than that of being driven rapidly through a fine open country ; but, contrary to what might have beeen expected trom the great moraust, ue added, ‘in the company of a pretty worun.” Dr Johnyon, however, was a greut | though innocent admirer of female beauty, and who will dispute bis good taste? Mis dictum on the mero picasure of uriving is none the less remarkable, especially when we consider it camo trom a mun who thought ‘one day in the Strand was worth a month spont in the country, But one of the chief reasons why we, #8 medical men, would recommend our | puticnts to patronize the coach a little more und the ain a little less 1s the benetit they would derive from the purity and freshness of the air breathed. The air | of most cf the watering places to which nine-tenths of | the pupulation resort tor change of air 1s, trom its moisture or some other cause, often {ound to do moro harm than good, while the drier wir of the tnlaud ais- tricts 18 generatly iound to agree with most constitu. tions, And yet for one person who resorts to # larm bouse or makes an excursion through some fine inland scenery thousands now rush down to some fashionable town on the const to return bome with their health very litle better than waoen they leftit.

In vur opinion it offers to the invalid, or to the inan whose brain hus been over- taxed, a new or rather revived means of recruiting his bealth, and we hope we shall hear that there will be an annually iucreased supply of @ medicine which will not only invigorate the poay, but wili even ‘adminis. ter to a inind disensed.’? NEW ORLEANS RACES POSTPONED, Nuw ORLEANS, April 12, 1877. The races of the Louisiana Jockey Club, which were to have come off to-day, have been postponed op ac- count of the weatuer, RACING IN CALIFORNIA. Saw Fravctsco, April 11, 1877. At the Oakland Park to-day a running race, two miles and repeat, came of between Council Blufls, Lady Amanda, Waeatley and Jake. The race was won by Lady Amanda in two straght beats. Time, 4(—3:413{. Council Blutfs was second, Wheatley third. Juke was disianced in the first heat, The race was favored by a good day and track. TROTTING IN CALIFORNIA. {From the San Mrancisco Chronicle, April 6] Thero wag yesterday a slight attendance at the Bay District Groands to witness a trot tor a $160 purse be- tween Biue Mountain Boy, Patchon Girl, Lilley and Rob Roy.

A meeting of the Public Hoslii Association was held in the rooms of the Academy of Medicine last evening, ‘The principal object of the meeting was to bear tho re- port of a special committee appointed to consider the practicability of introducing the provident dispensary system into this city. Mr. James C, Buyles, on behalf of the committee, submitted the report. It considered the bestowal of indiscriminate coarities ag injurious aud calculated to muke two paupers in helping one, ‘The great medical charities are in no respect less burt ful tu their intluence upon the morale of the poorer classes, [hoy seem to be peculiarly liablo +o abus since sickness and suiering touch the sympathies more deeply than even the plea of hunger, There are thou- sands of lamilies peciliarly liable to sickness who now have no resource for medical assistance except tho {ree dispensaries, The report proceeds to argue in favor of @coumbination of the free and provident systems of dispensaries as being calculated to relieve the charita- bly disposed from an excessive and unnecessary bur. den, and to make the expense of furnishing medicine reasonable to those who are abuaduntly able to pay for it, and still retain the feature of belping those who are not, The daily experience of physicians in free dis- pensaries, in indoor and outdoor practice, gives abun- dunt evidence of shameless imposition on the part of applicants, The hygienic advantages of the provident over the free system were presentod. MUTUAL HAALTH INSURANOK ‘he provident dispensary is not a charity, but a self supporting mutual benellt society, somewhat on the principle of ap uccideut insurance compuny. By the payment of a small sum weekly, in sickuess vod ia health the members are entitled to medical atteud- ance and medicines without additional charge when they nood them, The success of similar iustitutions in Euglaud was described, where they are tho out- growth of the free dispensaries, aud are fouud of im- portant benent tn resieving there institutions of a purt of their burdens, The rate is a peony a week, and whole families are required to join where one becomes ‘a member, The dues ure cyliccted weekly by | agents. Three-lourths of the money is divided among | the medical staff of (he dispensary in proportion to tbe | amber of patients treated by cach, The rest covers expenses, It is proposed to require for membership of dispensaries here the sum of Ove cents per week, which, with 6,000 members, will give a tol income of $13,000 per aunut Deducting twenty per cent for collecting, &c., $12,400 18 leit, giving each of the tour physicians $2,000 per unoum tor bis services and leav- ing $2,400 for medicines and expenses. ‘The report proceeds to give un exiract from the re- port of the State Board of Churities, by Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, with w copy of w letter trom Dr, C. Ro Ag- new on the “abuse of the dispensury system by un- worthy applicants and plans tor remedying abuse,” and concludes with the hope thut this association will solicit the cu-operation of other societies, medical anit benevolent, in submitting « plan of provident dispensaries for practical trial in this city.

The inquest was held on the bodies of George W. and Urville D, Jewett, who were killed ina very mysterious manner on the Sth inst, Notwithstanding this the jury never viewed the body of Orville Jowett, as they were by law required todo, Captam Petty was culled on the inquest, but was excused trom testifying alter a whispered consul- tation with the Corouer, Mr, Dean's statement was taken privately at his house, All the questions asked of witnesses appeared to puint aioue toward bringing out and establishing the suicide theory. ‘Tho develop- moots of yesterday, however, surpassed m mystory all the previous details that could be gleaned concerning the afair, MR, TAINTOR'S CONTRADICTIONS. Mr, Charles Taintor was tne first witness called, His testimony on all ports relating immediately to the tragedy was’ very confused. lie suid that he bad been counected with the drm of Johu Jewett & Sons for wen years, Orville D. Jewett kept the books of the white loud trim aad wituess kept the books of the oil business. Alterward, in response to a demand for explapation by w Juror im reterence to some accounts, he professed himsel! to ve unable to explain very clearly’on account of his want of experience of book- keeping. The day before the catastrophe be said ho had been informed that he was to have a sbare in the business, Mr, George Jewett told bim so, at the same time saying that Orville was going out ol the arm, Mr. Tulntor continued as follows:—Ia last November 1 first learoed jrom Mr, Dean that they Intended to get Orville out of the firm; tho reason for this was that Orville bad acted so ungentlemanly toward both Mr, Dean and George W. Jewett, aud they could not agree nor get along with him; I lived in the same house with my father-in-law; we both camo to the oilice together on the day o/ the tragedy. THR RVRNTVUL MOMENTS. George W.

Yes, he was; [ saw bim come out betore I went in; the glass partition between the contse and rear office is ground so thut 1 could vot distinguish anything through 1 when the door was closed.

Tao, Q An explosion heard distinctly at Fulton ferry, and also at the Seventh Ward Bank, 400 feet away, aud yet you pretend to say you did not bear it and you were but twenty feet frum it?

Mr, Rawson, one of the counrel attending the t was next placed on the stand. He testilied im regar to tbe arrangements for the firm’s dissolution, and to meeting Orville on the morning of the explosion in company with Major Barrett.

Daniel Foru, an employé of the deceased, was next called tor the purpose of identifying the smail pistol, He testified tbat be bud often been out yachting with Mr. Orville Jewett; had oiten seen bim shoot; he had 4 white bundled fo: hooter. The ove that had been found was showo witness, but as it did not have a par. ticular mark on the ivory haudie he refused to idenuly i.

Mr. Dean was wounded, No ove but these threo were present. The jury were to determine, lirst, who threw the missile, As lo the pistol shot wounds, they were to find who of the porsoas in the room tired them, or whether, iminediately alter the explosion, avy one entered and fired them, The positions of Mr, Dean, Orville aud George were next described, Mr. Dean was wounded i the baud. Tbe testimony of tho tireman, who came over there so quickiy and heard the Jasi shot, shows that there was uo one in there who could have inflicted the wounds without his seeing 1t. Then there Was auother question—whether the person or persons who committed tat act were 10 their right senses or laboring under an aberration of mind, THe VERDICT, The jury then retired tor consultation.
