HAWERA GRAND STAND.
Wc have seen the plans of the new grand stand prepared by Mr J. 11. Wright for the Hawera Jockey Club. The stand will occupy a ground space of G6ft x 23ft, the groundfloor including a luncheon room 48ft x 16ft, and a ladies’ room 16ft x 10 ft, fitted with the necessary conveniences. The public booth at the rear is 50ft in length, while the lawn bar has a length of 35ft. The bars are fitted up in a similar manner to those of the Wanganui Stand, with shutters and a verandah projecting all round. The gallery will be approached by two wide flights _of stairs, with entrance to luncheon room. The luncheon room will be lined throughout with matched lining; and on the gallery seat accomodation will be provided for over 350 people. The upper, part of the stand will be relieved with panelling, perforated parapet to relieve the box appearance so common in the structure of grand stands. The grounds around the new stand. will be laid out similarly to those in Wanganui,_ with saddling paddock, steward’s room, weighing room, judge’s box, with picket fencing, &c. It is intended to proceed with the contract at once.— Herald.
