WANGANUI JOCKEY CLUB’S AUTUMN MEETING.

In the present issue will ’be found the programme of the Wanganui Jockey Club’s autumn meeting and a glance through it will show it to be all that could be desired. The meeting will be opened on Thursday, March 5, and concluded on Saturday, March 7, and as the various races are well endowed with prize money, there should be a good response from horse-owners in all parts of the Dominion when the date for receiving nominations rolls round. The principal event on the opening day is, of course, the Wanganui Cup of 600sovs, one mile and three-quarters and on the second day the Wanganui Stakes and Jackson Stakes, run over distances of one mile and a-half and six furlongs respectively, are the chief events, each having 300sovs attached to them. With the exception of the Jackson Stakes for which race nominations have already closed, nominations for all other races to be decided at the meeting close with the secretary (Mr. W. Hall) on Friday, January 24, 1908, at 9 p.m. Full particulars will ’be found in another column.
