THE DUNEDIN PROGRAMMES. Dunedin, August 14. The Committee of the Dunedin Joc!;ey Club met last evening, and arranged programmes for the spring and autumn race meetings. The sum of about L4OOO will be given in stakes at the two gatherings, of which L 2935 will be appropriated to the autumn fixtures. The programmes are exact copies of last season’s as far as money is concerned, but some alterations have been made in details. For instance, at the spring meeting, the distance of the St. Andrew’s Handicap has been reduced to one mile and a-half, the Spring Handicap to one mile, the President’s Handicap to a mile and quarter, and the Grand Stand Handicap to six furlongs. At the Autumn Meeting it has been decided, out of respect to the late Mr Marshall, for some years President of the Club, to alter the name of the Queen’s Plate to the “Marshall Memorial Stakes.” Nominations for the Dunedin Cup, Jockey Club Handicap, and Forbury Handicap, are to close on the same day, September 15th, and all other handicaps will close on November 10.
