LOWEB HEATHOOXE BACHS, [3x Sia Lausoslox.J Given fine weather —a contingency which, at the time of writing, unfortunately seems rather remote —tho Lower Hoathcote Bacing Club’s Autumn Meeting, which comes off to-day on tho course near tho awing bridge, should be quite up to tho usual standard of the pleasant little fixture# of this Club. The first event, tho Heatfacoto Handicap Hurdle Bace, should, on his Xai Tspu running, bo an easy victory for Joukkt, and tho Handicap Hurdte Hace —why could not another name hare been invented ?—should be another "moral" for Pstcsh. Tho Hoathooto *r u P is not very easy to pick, but i fancy Soc’-wasixß should find bis moot dangerous opponent in Trumpeter, who, it w>u bo remembered, carried off the two c,p u 6Tr,al * at the last Heathcote meetbraaaG&iga should carry off tho marnsn plate, but the Trot I must decline »y anything about.
