LAKES’ DISTRICT JOCKEY CLUB RACES.

—o — The appended particulars of the above Meeting we extract from the Wakatip Mail. The meeting, although not quite equal to those of former years, was made very agreeable. The handicapping gave general satisfaction, and beyond the protests little unpleasantness occurred to mar the sports. The hurdle race caused disgust, and very hard things to be said. Host Eichardt had under his care the refreshment department, he also engaged a brass band, which enlivened the scene'on each' day. The following were the principal events: —' First Day—Thursday, January 11,1577. District Maiden Plate, of 20 sovs. Distance, one and a halt miles. Weight for age.
