Prospects of the ('online Racing Season al
Jerome Park.
THE HORSES AT WORK.
How the Club House and Grounds Are
Being Improved.
Jerome Park never looked better at tbla early sea
?ou than low. although the days of bright aunebiuo
vouohaaled the inhabitant* of tin* latitude unco the
departure ol winter can be remembered without much
mental oiertlon. Tim gram i* growing rapidly and in j
a week or ao will be ono bright Hold or waving

Of the dreary montha, have all been gathered and re
moved Irom tho ground*; tbo commodious stable*
have been thoroughly cleaned and made Iresli and
pleasant looking by tno proper application ol lubor,
and the track n In excellent condition lor the pre para- ;

Ol. Never since the organisation of ibe American 1
Jockey Club ban tho truck been in t>uch shape al so j
? early a date In tho spring. It suflerod so little by tho
beating and driving storm* ol the inactive season mat I
It required loss ibau two hours' work to uiiko the lew '
trivial repairs nccossary. Noi only are the grounds I
receiving that caroful attention always given llioiu 111
the spring, but tbo club house has been lu
tbe hands ol a corps ol mccliuu:cs and cleaner*
lor three or lour weeks past. Tins elegant, capacious
and admirably airanged structure never appeared
more attractive lhau at present. It has been newly
puiuled inside and outaide; it bas received new furni
ture, now carpets and new uppoinlmeuls iu every par
ticular. Urcul taste has been displayed in this work, as
the harmony ol colors is so marked it demands iuslunl
recognition by tbe visitor. Kvcu the chuudelicrs have
been taken 1'rotn their places and given a thorough
overhauling, while the old muulelpiecos have been re
placed Witn those ol new and neater uusigns. I bo ball
room. wbicb all Jcrouic 1'urk goers know to bo &U.xlOO
luel, is now undergoing the same systematic retluistung
as tne club bou.->e has been subjected to, aud In a lew
day* It will look as bright us a new sliver dollar,

The handsome appearance ol luo grounds aud the
iresh and ueat look of tho club houso are not
alone the present attractions at Jerome Park. Fur
soma tune past there buvo been many prominent rac
ing stables there, the trainers ol ouch taking advan
tage ol every day of pleasant weather to give their
pets the airing aud exercise needed by ibein. Nearly
ninety horses uru already at ilio l'ark, aud tho tiumb r
will be increased as tbo days roll ou to such an extent
thai there admits ol but ltti.o doubt that a lot ol Jul)
or more will be ou tho grounds to lake part in the
ojieiuug meeting. The outlook seems particularly prom
ising, and if Jerome Park ibis year does uol add an- |
oilier biJiliaul page to its turi history there must he a ?
series of unexpected disasters now seemingly impossible !
to occur. Up to luis tliuu the trainers ol tne several es
tablish uiouis noted below have becu breezing their
horses quite lively, but the reul strong work they re- |
quire to be m proper lorin lor Hie early events will
not be commenced lor another week. In these bright
Oiorniugs, sutU a* yesterday ami Wednesday, the pic
ture in ibe curly hours, as firing alter string ol high
mettled rucers were led on thu track, wo* one ol pious*
ant enjoyment, but when, with watches in hand, each
trainer stunds in some convenient p.ace and notes tho
pace ol ibis or lliut horse aud w uu ea.er eyes scans Ins j

Which is id the hands ol tho veteran An.el William-on.
Bad luck seems to have persistently loliowed this

COACHING.
REVIVAL STAGE COACHING FBOU A MEDICAL
ASPECT.
(From til* (London) Medical Press.)
We are glad 10 eee ibm the revival of stage coacblug
bide lair lo be a greater success thuu most people an
ticipated. Not only will the coaches that have been
lately running coutlnuo on the road, but also several
new projects aro in contemplation. The Drat coach of
the seas or is the Guilford one. Tfita tuts already begun
lo run as far as Cobbuiu. and on April 14 will run the
whole diatauce. The Portsmouth team will soou take
a new route through some of the finest scenery of
Surrey and Hants. It will not be luug beloro the
Windsor, Dorking and St. Albans coaches aro on the
roud, while the well known Brighton coach will con
linuo to run daily aa usual. Indeed, we have overy
prospect that other coaches, taking other roulov, will
bo started, not ooly in Loudon, but that the good ex
ample will be followed in some of our largo provincial
towns.
From a sanitary point of view, and with respect to i
those who are more in search of health than engaged
ou business, we look upoli this little rcvivul of stage '
couching ss oue of the happiest innovations that could j
bo made upon our usual mode of travelling. There j
can ho no doubt that lu many cases travelling by rail
way goes a good way toward dcleullng il>o very object
for which the jouruey is uudortakou. The time speul I
in the train may nut he lung, hut it more than time I
lost. The great fatigue, the headache, the giddlucss !
or sickness, the shako to the system and other eytup.
toms which tnany people cxperlouco who are in good |
health, aro often not recovered front for two or three !
days alter their arrival at their favorite health resort. !
Consequently the lime they bavo lost, as far us the
improvement of their health is concerned, is much i
longer than the time they would have spent had they !
travelled by coach, and not ono moment ol which !
would nave been turowu away, but, on the coulrary
spent lu the most healthy and enjoyable ol pursuits.'
Besides, if, a* philosophers say, human happiness de- j
peuds upon itie multiplicity of our innocent enjoy- '
uieuts, there must ho a great lallacy iu rushlug down, I

"utile change ol air." There can, indeed, be nothing

The great advantages of travelling by coach lu u sani
tary point nl view aro the opportunity ull'orded of ruui
11piling wtibiu a brief spuue of time, und wnh little
fatigue, the sources of our enjoyment, tho agreeable
relaxation winch the nnud exp.-notices iu constantly

utiou of the body by contiuuully breathing the pure
air These are advaiila.os Which aro uot within
the reuch ol those who either rush from place to pluco,
or who scramble down by rail to tlio seasido, where
they become us much a llsiure as the "oldest inhabi
tant" ul the place. Even the mere pleasure of being -
conveyed rupnlly through toe c.iuutry ou the top of a '
well appointed coach is much greater thuu mau.v peo- ;
pie -muyiuo. Dr. -Samuel Johnson told Bos we'll ono
day that ho knew of no grouler pleasure thuu that of i
being driven rapidly through a Hue opeu country; out
contrary to what might Have beoeu expected Irom j
the great moralist, ue added, "in the company of a
prcltj' wott.an." I)r Johnson, however, was a grout
though iiiuoceut admirer of female beauty, and who
will dispute bts good taster llis dictuiu ou the mero
pleasure ol driving is none tho less remarkable |
especially when we consider II canto Irom a luuu who
thought one duy in tho Slrund was worth a month 1
spent in the country. But ono of tho chief reasons
why wo, us medical nton, would recommend our
putii'uls to patronize tho coach a little more and the
truiu a litiio less is the bcui-lU tUey would derive Irom
the purity uud Ireshne.-s of the air breathed. The air
ol most tf'the watering places lo which nine-tenths ol
the population resort tor change of uir is, irom its
moisture or some other cause, olton lonnd to do more
burin thuu good, while the drier uir ol tho luluint uis
tricts is generally louud lo agree Willi most constitu

bouso or makes an excursion through some flue inland
scenery thousands uow rush dowu to some hishionuhlo
to wu on the coast to return Uoiuo with iheir heuitu vary
little belter than wncn they loll it. We live and work
moreover, ut sucn high pressure, and tho struggles lor
uxlsleuce and competition ol all kinds arc so groat
that we are continent that little uud irequeiitlv re
pealed runs out bf town would be fur more boneilciul
lo many or our city nieu than tho one autumnal hull,
u.iy usually taken when tlio best ol tho summer has I
goue. A lew journeys down to Brighton and back by j
tuc coach In ilie course ol the season would, Iroui a
healthy point ol view, bo tnore than equivalent to
three weeks' residence at that place, simply because
by ineuiiH of these short periodical "outings'- (be
lumd and body are not allowed lo be so completely
Jaded us to be beyoud the luvmorulltig aud restorative
intlueuce of the change ol air aud scene.
For these reusous we think thul the rovlval of slago
co idling, which has been recently inaugurated by a
number ol enterprising uoblemou and gentlemen, is to
bo commenced ou more grounds than tbut oi tho sport
uud pleasure it affords. In our opinion It offers to iho
Invalid, or lo ibe inuu whose brum has been over
taxed, a new or ruiher revived means ol recruiting bis

PROVIDENT DISPENSARIES.
PLAN OF A MUTUAL HEALTH INSURANCE INSTI
TUTION?FIVE CENTS A WEEK.
A meeting or tbo Public Ho.ilth Association was held
in the rooms of the Academy of Medtcino lad evening.
Tbo principal object of tbo meeting was to bear tbo re
port ol a special committee uppointod to consider tbo
pructlonblllty of Introducing the provident dispensary
system into ibis city. Mr. Juines C. Buyles, on behalf
ol tbo committee, submitted tbe report. It considered
tbo bestowal or indiscriminate charities as lujnrtous
aud calculated to make two paupers in helping one.
Tbo groat medical charities are in no rospoct less hurt
ful lu their intiuence upon tbe tnorulo o! tbe poorer
classes. Tboy seem to bo peculiarly liablo to abuse,
since sickness and sullering touch tbe sympathies more
deeply than even tbo pica of hunger. There are thou
sands or laiuillos peculiarly liuhlo to sickneBs who uow
have no resourco lor medical usslstunce except tbo tree
dispensaries. The report proceeds to urgue lu lavor of
a combination of the true and piovideut systems of
dispensaries as being calculated to relieve tbo charita
bly deposed from uu excessive and unnecessary bur.
deu, and to make the expense of furnishing medicine
reasonable to those who uro abundantly able to pay for
It, aul still retain tbe lealurc of helping those who are
not. The dally experience of physicians in free dis
pensaries, in luuooraud outdoor practice, gives abun
dant evidence ol shuweless imposition on tbo part of
applicants. The hygienic advantages ol the provident
over tbe free system were presented.
MUTUAL IliCALTII INSUKAXOK.
The provident dispensary la not a charity, but a
sell supporting mutual ben tilt society, somewhat uu
llio principle of an accident insurance company. By
tbe payment ol a small sum weekly, lu sickness aud ia
health tbe members are uulttlud to medical attend
ance and mediciufs without additional charge when
they noed them. Tbo success of similar institutions
lu Kuglaud was described, where ibey are tbo out
growth el tbo Ireu dlspelisuriea, aud are fouud el im
portant benotit tn relieving tbese institutions or a p.irl
ol their burdens. The rale is a peony a week, uud
wUolu families are required to join where one becomes
a member. The dues ure collected weekly by
agents. Three-fourths ol ibe money is divided among
the medical stall' ol ibe dispensury in proportion lu tbo
number of patieula trualod by each. The rest covers
cxpeuaes. It Is proposeu to require tor membership
ol dispensaries here the sum ul Uvo cuuh-per week,
which, with u.OOti members, will give a total Income
of $13,000 per uunum. Deducting twenty per cent lor
collecting, Ac., $13,400 is leit. giving each of the lour
physicluaa $3,000 per annum lor bis services aud leav
ing $3,400 lor medicines and expenses
The report proceeds to give uii extract Irom the ro
port ol tbe ritutu Board ol Charities, by Mr Theodora
Roosevelt, with a copy of a letter Irom Dr. C. It Ag
now on the "abuse ol tbo dispemury system by un
worthy applicants und plans lor rcmeuylug abuse,"
and coucludrs with the hope that this Hs.-uciaiion will
solicit tbo co-operntion >ol other societies, medical
an'd benevolent, in submitting n plan of provident
dispensaries lor practical trial in ibis city.

Tbe most remarkuhle inquest that bus taken place
since itio time ol the Nuiban murder wue brought to a
conclusion yoslvrday by u verdict which, II not quite, :
was almost all that could have been desired bv the
Iriends of ltie deceased. Several peculiar circum

ou llie bodies ol George W. and Orvillc I). Jewell, wbo
wore killed in a very mysterious manner on tho otb
Inst. Notwithstanding ibis tbo jury never viewed tbo
body of Orvillo Jewell, us tbey were by law requlrod
to do. Captain Holly was called on tbe luquesl, but
was excused Iroin testifying alter a whispered consul

lukon privately at Ins bouse. All the questions asked
of witnesses appeurud to point aioue toward bringing

I lie previous details that could be gleaned concerning

Mr. Charles relator waa tne tirsl wiliioss called. Ills

I saw him struggling.
y Were you uwure that Orville offered to sell bis In
