CAMBRIDGE CLUB.

THE ANNUAL REPORT. (From Our Own Correspondent.) CAMBRIDGE, Friday. The annual report of the Cambridge Trotting Club discloses a most successful year. During the period the club held two meetings, and for the first time in their history a summer meeting was indulged in. It was highly satisfactory. The annual fixture was marred by bad weather, and was a financial loss to the club. The club's membership continued to increase, and was approaching the 200 mark. The club's course had been improved of late, and terracing in front of the grandstand provided more accommodation. Messrs. Norman Banks, W. McMillan, A.' H. Nicoll and G. M. Watt retire by rotation from the committee and offer themselves for re-election. The profit and loss account showed a net profit on the year of £51 6/5 The balance-sheet disclosed assets totalling £5961 13/ and liabilities £3728 1/4. During the year the club gave stakes totalling £1451 18/6. NOMINATIONS ON MONDAY. Owing to the lack of entries for the Cambridge Borough Jubilee Handicap permission has been granted, to the Cambridge Trotting Club to extend the closing of nominations for its meeting on August 15 The Cambridge Borough Jubilee Handicap will be deleted from the programme, and instead the Maiden Jubilee Handicap will be run as two races, with a stake of £70 for each. The stake for the Militia Handicap will be increased to £150, and a trophy valued at £20. Entries for all events will close at 5 p.m. on Monday with Blomfield and Company.
