THE WAIPUKURAU JOCKEY CLUB.
Few clubs, especially those holding one-day annual meetings, have made such wonderful progress as the Waipukurau Jockey Club, whose record is one of which the secretary and committee may well feel proud. The next re-union will take place on Easter Monday, April 1. The programme, particulars of which may be gleaned from our advertising columns, runs out to eight well-endowed events. These are listed as follows:—The Maiden Plate of 50sovs, seven furlongs; the Easter Handicap of 65sovs, once round; the Hack Handicap of 60sovs, one mile and a-quarter; the Waipukurau Handicap of 150sovs, one mile and a-quarter; Two-year-old Handicap of lOOsovs, four furlongs; the Ladies’ Bracelet of 50soys, one mile and a-half; Flying Handicap of 100 sovs, six furlongs; and the Final Hack Handicap of 60sovs, five furlongs. If for nothing else but that the club has raised the stakes and improved the course after every meeting, it deserves well of owners, who will doubtless nominate liberally. Mr. W. G. Nightingale, the secretary, will take entries up to eight p.m. on Monday, March 11.
