ROTORUA JOCKEY CLUB’S ANNUAL MEETING.

The attention of horse owners is called to the advertised programme of the Rotorua Jockey Club’s Summer Meeting, which will be found elsewhere in this issue. The meeting, which extends over two days, takes place on February 16 and 17, and as the programme put before owners this year is an attractive one it should be well patronised. As a glance at the

programme will show' every class of racehorse is well catered for, and owners should experience little difficulty in placing their nominations. On the opening day the principal event is, of course, the Rotorua Cup of 60 sovs., one mile and a-quarter, and on the second day the Arawa Park Handicap of 40 sovs., one mile, will be the star attraction. The other events which go to make up .the programme are:— First day: Handicap Hurdles of 25 sovs., one mile and a-half; Maiden Handicap of 20 sovs., six furlongs; Waimangu Handicap of 20 sovs., four and a-half furlongs; Hack Handicap of 17 sovs., six furlongs; Whaka Welter of 20 sovs., seven furlongs; Thermal Springs Handicap of 25 sovs., five furlongs. Second day: Second Hurdles of 25 sovs, one mile and threequarters; 'President’s Handicap of 22 sovs., five furlongs; Tourist Plate of 25 sovs., four and a-quarter furlongs; Second Hack of 12 sovs., six furlongs; Second Welter of 20<'sovs., seven fur- - longs, and Farewell Handicap of 26 sovs., five and a-half furlongs.
