TROTTING CLUB MEETING.

UNFAVOURABLE WEATHER. TWEED SUITS AND ENSEMBLES.. Although the rain which threatened in tho morning did not eventuate until fairly lato in the afternoon, when a heavy shower occurred, pleasant weather conditions did not prevail for the opening day of the Auckland Trotting.Club's February Meeting at Alexandra Park yesterday.
