From Boston conies word that the race conimit-ee of the Country Club, at Brookline, lias started mi the work of preparation for the coming race sneotlug there. This meeting is annually one of the most popular of the whole amateur circuit. This year there will he a renewal of the Country Club Grand Annual, the Chamhlet Sleuiorial, the National Hunt Cup, the Slassasoit Plate, the Jliddlesex Cup, the Slyopia Cup, the Challenge Cup, and, in fact, all of the famous old races. Then there will be a number of new races on the program. A partial rebuilding of the course is under consideration. The idea is to put in growing brush that will mean natural jumps in the course of a couple of years. The water jump will also probably lie moved so that it will be brought within plain view of those In Jhe grandstand. The old jump on the hill, back of the grandstand, is another that will be moved according to the nlnns that are tinder consideration. It will still be on the grade, but placed in a position where a better view will be tiossible. Another change that has already been decided upon for the xjice program Is the framing of a number of events for locally-owned horses. They will be ridden by gentlemen who arc members of recognized New England Hunts. Several of the young men of Boston ami the surronnding country are ardent horsemen, but in other seasons they have had little chance when asked to compete with the best amateur riders in tlie country.
