C.J.C. Stakes Cut FOR G.N. MEETING. CHRISTCHURCH, May 3. The Committee of the Canterbury Jockey Club at the monthly meeting to-day decided upon reductions in stakes and alterations in conditions for the Grand National meeting. A general reduction in stakes was made, the only exceptions being the Grand National Steeplechase, which remains as last year’s figure of £lOOO, and the Hunt Cup Steeplechase on the second day, which has been raised from £l5O to £l6O. The total reduction amounts to £l2OO. and the total amount to be distributed will be £5.800. The Hunters’ Hurdles, hitherto the opening event of the meeting, has been changed to an open flat race of £l6O over six furlongs. The Winter Cup has been reduced from £5OO to £400; the Beaufort Steeplechase from £350 to £300; the Grand National Hurdles from £750 to £600; and the Lincoln Steeplechase from £350 to £3OO. The Committee decided to make no alteration at present for future classic events, but to reserve the right to reduce the stakes not more than 25 p<*r cent, prior to the date of the first forfeit.
