HAWKE’S BAY JOCKEY CLUB.

WINTER MEETING. Closely following on the Gisborne R.C.’s steeplechase 'fixture, which is being held this week, comes the important jumping meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club, which is set down for decision at Hastings on June 27 and 28. The big double on the opening day will consist of the Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase Handicap, of 600sovs„ about three miles, and the Hawke’s Bay Hurdles, of 400sovs., two miles. Much interest will be evinced in sporting circles in the entries for these popular jumping events, as with Great Northern form as a guide and the forthcoming Wellington R.C.’s winter meeting and the Grand National fixture already attracting attention, the intentions of owners of jumping candidates are naturally being awaited with more than ordinary interest. On the second day of the Hawke’s Bay meeting the June Steeplechase, of 35050v5., about 2% miles, and the Turamoe Handicap Hurdles, of 300sovs., 1% miles, will constitute the principal drawing cards. Hack hurdle and steeplechase events will be run on each day of the fixture, while the chief flat races are the Heretaunga Handicap, of 300sovs., &y 2 furlongs (first day), and the Final Handicap, of 25050v5., f>y 2 furlongs (second day). In addition to the events already mentioned a number of hack races figure on the attractive programme. Nominations for all events are due with the secretary, Mr. H. S. Moss, Box 13 Hastings, on Friday next (June 13) at 8 p.m.
