I have been carefully through the list of dates of race meetings and the only Wednesday and Thursday which appear to bo available to your club this season arc the following dates in Alay next: 16th and 17th or 23rd and 24th.” —The majority of the stewards wore of the opinion that in Alay the weather was too risky and the track might be too soft right at the beginning of winter.

The Ballanco Highweight was changed from an open to a hack event and the distance altered from 7 furlongs to 1 mile and 110 yards.
