OHINEMURI JOCKEY CLUB.

ANNUAL MEETING. The officials of the Ohinemuri Jockey Club have now made known the details in connection with the programme of their annual race meeting which takes place on the Paeroa racecourse on March 17 and 19. This go ahead club have drawn up an excellent two days’ programme, which is certain to ensure a large number of horses visiting Paeroa about the middle of next month. The Ohinemuri Cup Hand cap, of 250sovs, 1% miles, to be decided on the opening day, is one of the most coveted events with owners who made a point of attending the country fixtures, and a particularly good entry may safely be counted upon. The principal event on the second day will be the Paeroa Handicap, of 150sovs, 1 mile, when another strong field of handicap horses should again line up at the post. A feature of this popular meeting at Paeroa is the ’nclusion of a steeplechase on each day of the fixture, and both events should fill well when nominations come to be taken on Saturday week (February 17). The other races include sprint, hack, hurdle and welter events, making the programme

especially attractive to the smaller trainers, who can be relied upon to assemble in strong force at Paeroa next month.
