The Programme of the Pry bread Races, which appears in anuher column is on a most liberal scale, and for so small a place as Drybread, the amount of money available for prizes i; surprisingly large. We arc given to understand that there will be a variety of other sports besides the Races. A shooting match with riles is spoken of.

'J he programme is a very liberal one, and visitors will find some first rate sport.

The Christmas sports at Alexandra will take place on the day preceding Christmas. This arrangement has been made in consequence of the Dunstan Jockey Club Race Meeting falling on Boxing day. • The annual fortnightly meeting of the Clyde Town Council, which should have been hold on Tuesday evening last, lapsed for want of a quorum.
