WEATHER FINE FOR COMBINED RACE MEETING AT NAPIER

The combined meeting of the Tolaga Bay and Waiapu Racing Clubs being held at Napier today attracted the main attention of Gisborne racing patrons. However, talent is offering at two other meetings in the Dominion, the second day of the Avondale Jockey' Club's winter meeting at Avondale, presenting, perhaps, the best talent. Tha Manawatu Hunt Club's meeting at Awapuni also attracted some attention. NAPIER FIELDS
