ASHBURTON COUNTY RACING CLUB.
AUTUMN MEETING. The officials of the Ashburton County Racing Club have drawn up an attractive programme in connection with their autumn meeting, which takes place on Thursday, May 9. The principal event is the Ashburton Cup, of 400sovs (one mile and a-quarter), for which a good entry is assured. The Grove Farm Handicap, of 175sovs (six furlongs), should occupy the attention of owners of sprinters, while an event of particular interest is the Laghmor Plate, of 120sovs (five furlongs), for two-year-olds and upwards. In addition to a hurdle race, two hack events and a welter handicap, a harness event is provided for trotters, so that the programme is one likely to receive wide patronage, no less than 135550 vs being distributed in stakes for the eight races. Nominations for all events, with the exception of the Laghmor Plate, close with the secretary, Mr. A. A. Fooks, Box 33, Ashburton, on Friday, April 19, by 9 p.m.
