Nominations for all events at the Masterton Racing Club’s autumn meeting close to-night at 9 o’clock. i A scheme to form one of the finest racecourses in New Zealand at an estimated cost of £BO,OOO, has been put . in hand by the Hamilton Racing Club, and arrangements are beng made to hold the first race meeting on the course on October 20 of this year. The club has purchased 300 acres of land at Te Rapa, at a point 24 miles to the north of the Hamilton post office,- and within a miloof the Frankton railway station. For many years the Hamilton Racing Club and the Waikato Hunt Club have hold their meetings on the Waikato A. and P. Association ’s showgrounds at Claudelands. The Hamilton Trotting Club will still continue to hold its meetings on that ground. The Hamilton Racing Club, however, found that the arrangements for holding a big meeting at Claudelands were inadequate and unsatisfactory.
