TO-MORiROW’S RACES

G.R.C. OPENING- DAY AT PARK

The summer meeting oi' the Gisborne Racing Club will be opened on the Park to-morrow, and despite the Gain yesterday-, and up till an early hour this morning it is anticipated that the (meeting will be very successful in every way. The Park racecourse is well known one of the best “wot” courses in New Zealand for the sandy subioil allows rain wat or to disappear, very rapidly. 11 the weather should bo line to-morrow, therefore, it is .expected there will Iv a large attendance. The majority of the outside horses engaged at the meeting have already arrived, and needless to say, their 'schooling gallops have been watched closely by local enthusiasts, winners at Wairoa being subject to especial interest. Hie fields will be fairly large, lint- with some of the n ost prominent jockeys'available for the meeting, there . should be no shortage of riders. Tint committee are fully satisfied with the acceptances. From present indications theHack Gold Chip promises to be one of the best sporting - propositions seen here for some time, and the other races should also present followers with some interesting problems.

Special trains will be run from town and country by the Railway Department and bus services as usual will be run at regular hours on both days, while the big, fleet of' taxis will no doubt come in Tor some good business.
