NORTH OTAGO JOCKEY CLTFB. 1 The North Otago Jockey Club, in common with other clubs in this part of the Island, are benefiting from the marked revival of interest in the sport of horse-racing in these parts, and the nominations closed last night number 14 more than those of last year for the 'same twelve races. A feature of the entries is the fact that every stake has attracted its quota of aspirants, and every race under the skilful management of the Club's handicapper, should Ibe run by big fields. And as the entries are numerous, so the quality of the animals nominated is quite beyond reproach. There are, besides the local horses, representatives in the lists from Wellington, Greymouth, Christchurch, Timaru, Ashburton, Dunedin, Waimate, Rivertou, and Invercargill.

Included among these are : Kilwinning, winner of the Auckland: Derby; Oiyoi and Armamento, both winners of the Dunedin Cup; Cute, the consistent winner; Genius, winner ot the Autumn Plate at the C.J.C. meeting; Lovelorn, winner of the lunal Handicap at the same meeting; YVaiju and Eons, Southland's popular favorites; Mv Lawyer, treble winner at Timaru; Octave, dual winner at the same gathering; San Severo, winner of the Publican's Handicap at Wmgatui; Gapon, Officious, Fasnakyle, Queen ot Spades, Balaclava, and Sharpshooter, all horses with enviable records.
