NEW YORK3 NEW TRACK. As the result of a recent visit of inspection J. J. Burke gives, in Daily America, the following concerning the new track on Long Island near New York: "Having personally inspected within the past twenty-four hours tho grounds and improve-monta ho w being mado in South Jamaica, where is situated tho plant of the Metropolitan Jockey Club, the title of the latest aspirant to public favor, I am able to say, from my own knowledge, that very satisfactory progress has been made Bince the day, some weeks since, that ground was broken. "Even with such bleak weather as prevailed yesterday afternoon the place looked far from uninviting, surrounded as it is by dozens of comfortable houses, with a capital road running past the point where the rear of the grand stand is to ba situated, and with the trolleys running to and from Far Rockaway, which is only twenty-eight minutes travel. The course can be reached in about eight minutes ride from the old-fashioned town of Jamaica, and with the Long Island Railroad running trains from both Flatbush avenue and Longjlsland City there can be noquaBtionas to its acoeasibility. "Originally about a hundred acres were considered sufficient for the enterprise, but there confronted the builders the possibility of a scarcity of loam for top dressing, and bo about thirty additional acres were recently acquired. The track is now practically finished, and new stables, which will accommodate nearly 300 horses, are actually completed. Another lot, to accommodate about S00 horses, are in course of erection, while the scheme now calls for some fifty-one stables, each with a capacity to take care of twenty-two horses, so it is Been that more than 1,000 horses are to be cared for when the buildings will be ready. "One of the first buildings to catch the eye when one approaches the course is tho club house, a very massive looking structure, the lower part of which is to ba used for the jockeys room, offices, cafe, reception room and carriage entrance in the rear. There will bo throe floors and a cupola to this building and a splendid view of the whole place can be seen from it. Nearly 300 persons can be seated on the porch. "Foundations for the supporting pillars of the grandstand are now completed. This stand will be of steel, 400 feet long and 100 feet deep, and it will hold 6,000 people. The betting ring will be 275 feet long by 100 feet wide; the paddock, 225 feet long by 50 feet wide. There will be a field stand, 300 feet long by 70 feet wide. "Exactly one mile in circuit, it is to be regretted that the projectors of the new course could not eee their way to making it at least nine furlongs In circuit. The place appears as if it were being built for many years use, and that being the case, all modern innovations should have been utilized, if possible."
