The Official Calendar OF THE AUCKLAND RACING CLUB.

“ Th® Sporting (Review ” has been appointed the Official Calendar for the publication of all programmes in the Provincial District of Auckland, in terms of Rule 17 of the Rules of Racing. Rule 17 reads:—“The programme of each meeting in which the added money is £l5O or upwards must he advertised in full once at least in the Official Calendar. The advertisement shall show that the programme has been approved by the Jockey Club, shall state the days on which the meeting is to begin and end, and the names of the stewards, judge, starter, clerk of scales, and handicapper.” e All notifications for the future published in thin column are so published under the authority of the Auckland Racing Club, and are binding on country clubs and others, who must therefore duly note the same. As some doubts have arisen as to whether the recent action of the Racing Conference has interfered with the appointment of the Sporting Review by the Auckland Racing Club as the Official Calendar, we publish* the following letter for general information :— Memo, fbom Auckland Racing Club.
