The Hace Privileges.

* On Thursday the sale by auction of the privileges in connection with the summer meeting of the Foxton liaeing Club, will be hold at the Public Hall. We should say that there will be some spirited bidding for the various lots, us the Olub hnve striven hard to secure a sue c:ssful and pleasant gathering. The altered condition of trade ,'iud population should cause the attendance to bo v ry largely increased, and tho o always has been a large crowd at vv-vy summer meeting, as our neighbours at Pulinerston and Fording alw.iys set that day apart, to enjoy tho.aselves with us The Club have no int. ution of trying to screw the last penny out of the purchasers, but they propose o let the buyers guage tbe value for themselves. Tho Gates are easily managed with a couple of horsemen, and the Grand ' tand paddocks are well fenced. The Grind stand booth has been very *.nuch improved, the inside being now all iluoi-d The Refreshment booth, toau energetic re.iv.x, is . s good as a sm-tll fortune An other great advantage about this sale is, that purchasers are given ' more time to make all necessary arrangements, 1.8 tho sale is on tho 11th and the races not till the .22nd. The nominations are very goo;l, and the weights are stated as being sunli to cause full acceptances, thus with a fine day, and th.it is :'lm«»sr. as r<»verbial' s-s (!
