THE D.J.C. MEETING

_____ GOOD FIELDS ENGAGED The Dunedin Jockey Club's winter meeting will be opened to-day with a card of good fields which should provide racing of an attractive variety on the fiat and over hurdles and fences. Unless there is • break in the weather the going will be fairly firm but not particularly fast. In fact, better going could not be desired at this time of the year, particularly for a ««rd containing races over jumps. The fclds are numerically strong, and provide ample scope for speculators. The following may be amongst those fancied for fheir engagements:— 11 a.m.: Tahuna Steeples.—Night Scout, Shadow Boy, Feather Lassie, 11.42: Trial Stakes.—Fairy Godmother. Alpine, Silver Mask. 12.24: Otago Hurdles.—Strip, Colonel Rouge-Anglo-Irish bracket, Heidelberg. 1.6: Brighton Handicap.—Saldowa, Riding Home, Fair Trial. 1.48: Otago Steeplechase.—Noko-Anglo-French bracket, Whirr, Gay Boa. 2.30: Birthday Handicap.—Kevin, Amorlad.
