GISBORNE R-ICING CLUB’S SUMMER MEETING.

FIRST DAY,

The summer meeting of the Gisborne

Racing Club was opened at tho Park raoooourse yesterday undor tho most pleasant ciroumstancos. There was a largo attendnnoe, and tho racing thronghout was full of interest. Speculation was remarkably brisk, tho sum of ;£o4oß being passed through the totaliaator for tho day ns against J 24586 for tho previous yoar. Ex oopt for a slight delay in paying out, tho maohines wero most capably bandied, there being no complaints in regard to the arrangements rnado for receiving invest*

monts, It is satisfactory to note that tho olub have kept abreast of tho times by going in for an up-to-date totalisator building. Tho new totalisator kouso is an ornament to the oourso, and provides ample accommodation for tho public for some timo to come. Yoslerday three machines were in use, and that these wore required was demonstra‘od by tho fact that neatly £IOOO more was hondlod than on tho first day of tho last summer moeting. The arrangements male for the mooting were all that oould bo desired, and reflected the utmost credit upon the seoro-

tary, Mr M. Q.. Nasmith, who was unremitting in his efforts to promoto tho success of the gathering. Tho Gisborne Eiflas Band, under the able oouduotorship of Mr MoKillop, were present during tho afterhoon, and played a choice selection of popular rnusio. Tho oateriug arrangemen's, in tho hands of Mr J. Erslrino, left nothing to bo desired, a splendid lunoheon being provided. The raoiDg throughout was full of interest, the handicaps made by Mr J.

Chadwick giving the utmost satisfaction. Mi O’Connor was eminently sneoessfol as starter, getting his fields well away on eaoh occasion. The following arc the details of the racing : Flying Handioap, of 5030 vs ; 6 furlongs.
