THAMES JOCKEY CLUB.

This club will bring off their Summer Meeting on Boxing Day and the day following, and with the capital entries and acceptances they have received they should have a real good time of it. It will be remembered that there was a little friction for a time between the T.J.C. and the Auckland Racing Club’s committee owing to the former adhering to their old dates of Boxing Day and the day following. This was smoothed over, however, and there now seems every prospect of the Thames Jockey Club having two good days’ racing, for several of the Auckland horses will journey there on Boxing Day, and as there is no racing at Ellerslie on the Tuesday their ranks are likely to be further swelled on that day. As to what will exactly journey down to the Thames I have a pretty shrewd idea, and therefore, without further preamble, I shall go for the undermentioned on the first day:— Maiden Handicap. — Waltzer, with Viceroy next. Hurdles.—Megoulet, with Slumberer next.

Thames Handicap.—lda, with Stanley and Ingorina in the other places. Welter Handicap.—Waltzer or Ida. Steeplechase. — Carronade ; Selwyn next best.
