August 20th.
Nominations for the Timaru Spring Meeting were received last Saturday, and judging from the good number there are plenty of horses available for early spring racing in this Island. The Timaru meeting (South Canterbury Jockey Club) takes place on September 12 and 13, and is the first flat racing of season 1895-96. Magazine, Prime Warden, Gipsy Grand, Merino, Chaos, Outpost, Silver Spec., and Loveshot, all New Zealand Cup candidates, are named for the Timaru Cup, so a lot of interest will be evidenced.
Our Hunt Club entries for September are also good, and bookmakers are already busy with their doubles (two flat races) offering from 100 to 4 to half a sovereign. lam sorry to say James Cotton is still in the Christchurch Hospital suffering from the result of his fall at the National Meeting. Casket is still under a cloud, and is doing no strong work. Our other Cup candidates are well.
