The Island Bay Park Racing Club have made up their minds to reduce tbe price of the grand stand and saddling paddock a Island Bay at.their big Spring Race Meeting next week, says the Post. " Million prices” are to be the order of the day. The admission fee to racecourse and grand stand on both days will be five shillings. For this moderate sum a very pleasant day's sport may be enjoyed, and what adds so much to tbe pleasure of every true spostsman, a good look at the horses iu the saddling paddock and scraping sheds. As the club are inviting a number of their lady friends, the affair promises to be a great success.
