SECOND SCHEDULE. Clubs whose Names appear in the First Schedule, but as to which it is recommended that the Licenses be withheld unless and until certain Requirements are wholly fulfilled.

Note. —By way of explanation : what, in our opinion, is a properly constructed racecourse and suitable appointments is a racecourse preferably a mile or more in circumference, but not less than seven furlongs (unless there are serious difficulties in procuring a course of such circumference in the district), one chain wide throughout, fully railed with regulation rail on the inside, properly graded, and made reasonably safe for horses and riders ; the appointments to include sanitary accommodation for both sexes both in the inside enclosure and the outside, adequate totalizator-house, jockeys' room with, lockers, and (or reasonably near) lavatory, weighing-room, and room for officials, ambulance room with equipment, and (if and when the funds of the club permit) a grandstand or shelter for the public. These appointments may be considered the minimum. These conditions apply to courses confined to trotting ; but in respect of such courses the circumference may be less than seven furlongs.
