FORBURY TROTS NEXT WEEK. “ Old Identity ” writes: The acceptances for the American Fleet Aleeting on ’Tuesday and Wednesday of next week are equal to, if they do not exceed, expectations. The club’s invitation the visitors extends to all ratings. Every officer and every man in the fleet is invited, and if the whole batch attend they will be very sincerely welcomed. As to the influence upon the meeting of the Christchurch decision to race on Afonday, it will not spoil the Dunedin Aleeting. Tho northern owners engaged are evidently willing to come down, and a special train carrying horses and passengers is to leave Christchurch for Dunedin at 9 p.m. on Monday, so that horses can race at Christchurch and still compete hero. In any case, it is quite certain that the Forbury Aleeting will go on as planned. C.J.C. RACES. THIRD DAY ACCEPTORS.
