THE A.R.C. PROGRAMMES.

The Auckland Racing Club have passed their programmes for the coming season as submitted by the Programme Committee. Several alterations have been made, and it is our intention to compare the programme with that issued last season. The Club will give away in stakes to four meetings a total sum of £7,305, being an increase on the four similar meetings last season of £365. The idea of holding an extra meeting, as ' suggested in the Annual Report, has been abandoned. The date of the Spring Meeting has been fixed for November Bth and and 10th.

In the race for the Auckland Plate at the Summer Meeting, formerly run at weight-for-age, the conditions provide that the winner of the Canterbury Derby, Canterbury Cup or Auckland Derby shall carry a 71b. penalty, or the winner of any two of these races, 101 b. extra; and the winner of any weight-for-age race of the value of 200 sovs., 51b. extra.
