Gisborne, Waipukurau and other centres. The principal race of the day will be the North Island championship. Considering the large iields in this race, the winner will well deserve this title. On recent running Mr A. F. West's "Son o' Erin ' ' appears to be the strongest locally-owned dog for this title, but whether he.can outpace the dogs from other centres remains to be seen. The public are enjoined not to miss the opportunity of witnessing this meeting, which present indications euggest will be a fitting conclusion to a very successful season. As a total of 110 nominations have been received, malcing a total of 28 events, the committee of the Nortliern Hawke 's Bay Grey hound 1 Association, has been forced to commence the meeting at 10 a.m. sharp, the concluding race of the day being timed for 5 p.m. P.
