MOTOR-CYCLE RACE MEETING ON MARTON RACECOURSE EARLY IN MARCH A full-scale motor-cycle race meeting will be held by the Rangitikei Motor Club on the Marton racecourse on Saturday, March 6, and it is hoped to attract prominnt cyclists from many parts of the North Island. Races will start in the morning and continue through the afternoon, being run on the mile grass track. The Rangitikei Motor Club, revived last year after a period or recess, held successful meetings in the past, the last occasion on which the Marton racecourse was used being about 1932. The course is considered by cyclists to be ideal for the purpose, being wide and slightly banked with reasonably easy corners. The one-mile motor-cycle lap record for the course is believed to be in the vicinity of 84 miles an hour. MARTON FIRE BRIGADE QUEEN CARNIVAL.
