TO-MORROW’S MEETINGS.
BRIGHT FEILDING PROSPECTS. PROMISE OF KEEN RACING. TIGER GAIN IN SOME DEMAND. (By “Moturoa.”) With the tracks in perfect order as the result of tho mid-week rain, and all arrangements up to the moment, the stago is set for one of the most successful spring mootings conducted ' by the Feilding Jockey Club in recent years, and the gathering which opens to-morrow and concludes on Monday, will prove a big attraction to racegoers over a very wide area. In common with other clubs throughout the Dominion thus far this season there is only the need for fine weather for tho totalisator receipts to soar, but the Feilding Club, with its electric totalisator, fine stands, and splendid appointments, can copo with tho expected increased attendances, and the gathering should be a memorable one. The fields are large but quality has not been sacrified for quantity, and a programme of. high-class racing is assured the club’s patrons. Excursion trainshave been arranged to provide a cheap trip for racegoers and the totalisator will be operated on the 75-25 per cent, system.
