The action of the programme committee was endorsed, while the ; various reports were approved as highly satisfactory. The : secretary intimated that, judging by the acceptances, the fields would bo largo, and that, as the handicapping had made the various events very open, the 1 contests should prove both keen' and exciting. The official programme, now in the hands of ; the printers, would be ready for . sale on Friday night, and as it would contain all information required by spectators and competitors, Mr Dixon anticipated a ready sale.
