WHANGAREI JOCKEY CLUB.

SUMMER MEETING. The leading race fixture north of Auckland, the Whangarei Racing Club’s annual meeting, is to be held on the Kensington Racecourse, Whangarei, on January 15, when eight events, including the Whangarei Cup Handicap (open), of 150sovs, one mile and a-quarter, will be run off in the presence of the club’s many patrons. A number of horses from Auckland are taken each year to Whangarei to compete at the local meeting, and this fact has enabled the club to make their stakes more attractive, with the result that the Ellerslie contingent are now regarded as an invaluable factor towards the success of the gathering. The deserving efforts of the club merit a gratifying reward in the shape of excellent nominations, and there is certain to be a splendid response in this direction when entries come to be taken on December 28. In addition to the Cup, the following events are to be decided: Kamo Handicap (five furlongs), Railway Handicap (open), six furlongs, County Handicap (seven furlongs), Publican’s Purse (open), seven furlongs, Farewell Welter (six furlongs), Maiden Plate (six furlongs), and the Kensington Stakes (five furlongs).
