MANAWATU RACING CLUB.

The summer programme of the Manawatu Racing Club will be found in this issue, and, as usual, is an excellent one, extending over three days, December 26th, 27th and 29th. The Manawatu Cup, of 700 sovs., Palmerston North Stakes, of 500sovs., and Liverpool Handicap, of 400sovs., are the leading items on either day, and the Fitzherbert Handicap and President’s Handicap, of SOOsovs. each, on the first and second days, respectively, and the Kawau (Handicap, of 25050v5., on the third day, are the next best in value. A hurdle race each day of the respective values of 175, 150 and loOsovs., a Trial Plate, of lOOsovs. (the opening event, at fixed weights), and hack and open handicaps ranging in value from 130sovs. to 200sovs., complete a programme of twenty-four events, including welters and the Juvenile Handicap, of 17550v5., on the first day, for two-year-olds. The date on which nominations close is Friday, December Ist, and the acceptances on December 12th, on which date final payments for the Eleventh Palmerston North Stakes will also be taken. Mr. J. M. Johnston, secretary, should be a busy man on those dates.
