TE KUITI RACING CLUB.

ANNUAL MEETING. The next country fixture of importance in the Auckland province to claim the attention of racegoers is the Te Kuiti Racing Club’s annual meet'ng, which takes place at Te Kuiti on Saturday, February 9. This up-to-date King Country race gathering is deservedly popular with northern enthusiasts, who can be relied upon to extend the approaching meeting their usual wide patronage. After the Takapuna meeting many Ellerslie tra ners will be taking advantage of the opportunity to race their charges at Te Kuiti the following week, and the fact should not be overlooked that nominations for all events close with the secretary, Mr. J. H. Trinnear, Te Kuiti, or with Messrs. Blomfield and Co., Auckland, on Friday evening next (January 18), at 9 p'.m. Chief interest is centred in the Te Kuiti Cup. of SOOsovs., one mile and a-quarter, which should attract a good field. With the exception of the Maiden Handicap, of 75sovs., all the seven other events range in value from lOOsovs. upwards, so that the Te Kuiti Racing Club have given the smaller owner every encouragement to undertake a trip to the gathering with the prospect of annexing a stake that will place him on the right side of the ledger.
