A convenient train service will be available for patrons, and the Clareville flag station adjoins the course. J The card is as follows:— 11.45— MAIDEN PLATE, of £OO. Six furlongs.

With no outstanding form in the maiden race a surprise may eventuate. The favourites may be Camilla Horn and I.e Touquet. CARRINGTON HIGIIWEIGIIT HANDICAP, of £BO. Minimum weight, 9.0. One mile and 80 yards.
