SPECIAL REMINDERS.
Ettrick races are fixed for St. Patrick's Day when £170Iwill be given in stakes. A very tidy programme is put forward, as will be seen by the advertised particulars given by Mr James Benneti jun., in this issue— that^ is to say, the money is fairly cut up, the race 3 are at popular distances, and the conditions are such as should meet with general approval. Nominations are due on the 27 th inst. On March 1 the nominations arc due for the Dunedin Jockey Club's Anniversary meeting. The Dunedin Amateur Trotting Club advertise in this issue a programme for March 24 (Easter Saturday). As the handicaps are not declared until the night of the Forbury meeting on March 17, the club will, I hope, not be troubled wih another Susan. The programme includes a Two- mile Trot of 60sovs, a One-mile and a-half of 40sovs, iand a One-mile of 30sovs. The other events are a Maiden Trot of 25sovs, two Pony Trots of 15sovs each, Novel of 20sova, and a Consolation of 20sove. Nominations close !on Saturday, 10th inst. A little over £170 is announced to be given in stakes at the Riverton meeting on Easter Monday. The programme includes a Maiden Steeplechase and an Open Steeplechase— two events that should find favour in the eyes of owners in that district — and there is also a flat race for hunters. The other events are a Hurdle llace, a MaidenJPlate.Sthe Riverton Handicap of 3530V5, the Flying, and the newly-instituted St. Leger, for three-year-olds bred in Southland. Mr T. R. Wintoa will take nominations up to the Bth March. The Beaumont programme for Easter Monday consists of eight items, of which the principal are the Beaumont Handicap of 30sovs, a mile and aquarter, and the Trot of 30sovs, two miles and ahalf, but other events are of almost the same value and owners ought not to complain of the v/ay the stake money is divided. Mr Dowse is handicapper. Nominations will be taken up to the 2nd March by Mr Chas. Bennet, whose address is Rae's Junction.
