AVONDALE JOCKEY CLUB.
NO REDUCTION IN STAKES,
SUM OF £12,500 NEXT SEASON. The committee of the Avondale Jockey Club yesterday considered the programme for the forthcoming season and decided to make no reduction in stakes, so that the sum of £12,500 will again be distributed next season for the four day or £900 more than is required by the Rules of Racing. This will be greatly appreciated by owners and trainers, and the club ia to be congratulated on their action. The principal alterations are that the Kingsland Handicap Hurdles which was formerly an open event, is to be confined to hacks, but it carries the same stake and will be rim on the first day of the spring meeting instead of the second. The Avondale Hurdle Race, which in the past has been decided on the second day of the autumn meeting has been similarly dealt with. It will be a ha*-k event next season, and will be run on the first day. All the races with a stake of 500sovs have been made uniform, that is to sav that 400sovs yill go to the winner 'in each instance.
