THE FLEET RACE MEETING.

Owners must not lose sight of the fact that nominations for the. Fleet Race Meeting must be lodged with Mr. J. F. Hartland not later than 9 p.m. on. Friday, July 17. Although it is too much to expect a heavy nomination list, yet, as the prize money is fixed upon a very liberal scale, sufficient entries should be received to provide some excellent sport. Some doubt has been expressed upon, this point, but there should be little anxiety on the matter, for there are a very fair number of horses yet in commission. and there should also be a sprinkling from the outside centres. The very strong executive intends making a special effort to make the gathering a success, and it is fairly safe to assume that everything that can possibly be done in this direction will be duly carried out. One thing may be taken for granted, and that is if the weather proves fine the attendance will be enormous. It is to be hoped that owners .will do their share to help towards the success of this special meeting, and thus give pleasure to the hosts of visitors to Auckland next month.
