WANGANUI TROTTING CLUB.

All arrangements ’ for the Wanganui Trotting Club’s meeting, which opens tomorrow and will ba continued on .Friday, have been completed, and given favourable weather the gathering should be a most successful' one. The acceptances for tomorrow’s events arc very large, and as a good even class of horses are engaged the "port provided should be very interesting. The Wanganui Jockey Club have kindly, granted the club the use of their course and appointments, and there is likely to be a big attendance on these picturesque grounds to-morrow. The Garrison-, Band will add to the general enjoyment by rendering a capital programme of music, while the fact that Dustin’s, Ltd., will have charge of the catering is sufficient to guarantee satisfaction in that connection ;V large number of trotters have already arrived from various parts of the Dominion to compete at the meeting, which should serve to still further popularise the sport in these parts. Messrs Neylon and Spriggen will have charge of the totalisntor, and will run a 10s machine. There ire seven items on to-morrow’s bill of fare, i;he fjrst race being timed to start at 1 o’clock. Air TJlie Shannon, the club’s handicapper, will act as starter. It is hoped the club will bo favoured with tine weather, which is apparently all that is needed to make the rimeting a success from :very point of view.
