THE AVONDALE JOCKEY CLUB’S AUTUMN MEETING.

The Autumn Meeting of the Avondale Jockey Club is fixed for Saturday and Wednesday, April 20 and 24. The western course is one of the best appointed in the colony, and the meetings on it are always of an enjoyable nature. For the fixture a very good list of events has been drawn up, particulars of which will be found in our advertising columns. The items on the opening day are the Maiden Plate of 50sovs, 6 furlongs; Hurdle Race of 70sovs, 2 miles; Oakley Handicap of 50sovs, 5 furlongs; Juvenile Handicap of 60sovs, 5 furlongs; Avondale Handicap of 175sovs, 1% miles; First Pony Handicap of 40sovs, 5 furlongs; Chevalier Handicap of 50sovs, 4 furlongs; and Railway Handicap of 80sovs, 6 furlongs.
