On Saturday in these columns attcution was drawn to the alterations in several of the. classes, of races, to U decided at the summer meeting of the Otahuhu Trotting Club, as compared with the original programme drawn op and published in the book programme. Another alteration has now been made, and owners or slow-class trotters should particularly note that the Trial and Suburban Handicaps, which are the opening events on the first and second days respectively, are now for horses that have not won at better than 2.23 to the mile. The Trial is run at a mile and a-half, limit 3.45. and the Suburban, two miles, limit 5 minutes.

The other alterations have been referred to previously, but owners should make themselves fully conversant with the new conditions, and they have ample time to do this as nominations do not close till Friday. February 8, with the secretary. Mr. R. L. Absolum. The full programme will be found advertised in this issue.
