MARTON JOCKEY CLUB.

SUMMER MEETING. The highly satisfactorly acceptances received in connection with the Marton Jockey Club’s summer meeting augurs well for the success of this popular fixture. to be held at Marton on New Year’s Day. With the form of the Manawatu Racing Club’s meeting of the previous week as a guide, racing enthusiasts will have something on which to base their calculations, and there is every reason to anticipate a record gathering in all respects. A splendid acceptance of 14 has been received for the Marton Cup (one mile and a-quar-ter), and, judging by the calibre of the horses engaged, a great race should be witnessed. The Railway Handicap (six furlongs) has attracted 13 acceptors, the field being a high-class lot, so that the second “leg” of the double should be productive of an interesting contest. Record fields are engaged in the Hack Hurdles and the Ladies’ Bracelet, while 11 figure in the Juvenile Handicap (five furlongs), including Coolpan and Torfreda. The other events have all been liberally patronised by owners, and racegoers are certain of a first-rate afternoon’s sport. Some interesting notes in connection with the meeting will be found in our Wanganui correspondent’s letter.
