THE D.J.C. HANDICAPS.

To the Editor. P^R,—The true spotting public here and horse-owners themselves have had but little sympathy with the gentleman who convened the meeting the Shamrock Hotel on Saturday last, to consider the weights fixed for the Spring Meeting, the fact of every horse accepting for one or both handicaps proving this beyond a doubt. If the owner of Wee Lad had gone to the Jock y Club, of which he is a member, and said that the gentlemen appointed to frame the. handicaps at our meetings were not fit for , the business entrusted to them* and should he relieved of their responsibility, and three, other gentlemen elected, I could have annrpninf.Pil Kin nnim.

It is much to be regretted • thatreporters are not sent to the meetings of the Jockey Club and its committee, so that correct accounts of what takes place can be published, instead of those gentry having to depend on the secretary for particulars of the business done, or pick up their information from any member who may have been present, as in the latter case the report may at times be not strictly correct.—l am, *c.,

[On our sending a reporter from this journal to the Club committee meetings, he has always been informed that a report will be furnished by the secretary. —Ed. E.S.]
