Sale of Privileges.
On Thursday Messrs Thynne Linton & Co hold a sale of privileges in connection with the Foxton Racing Club's Autumn Hack Race Meeting. We direct more particular attention to this sale, as the Club has made a departure from its usual fixtures, and the Autumn meeting this year will be purely a Hack Meeting. All up and down this coast hack meetings appear to be extremely popular, very large entries are made, and the acceptances number the most of those nominated. The date fixed for the meeting, the 4th April, is one that will suit the owners of hacks that are about to take part in the races at Palmerston and Feilding, so that purchasers may feel pretty confident that big entries will be the order of the day. We may mention that so promising was the outlook for a meeting of this sort, that the Club had a most liberal offer, from a well-known speculator to buy all the privileges privately. The Committee decided j that they could not well accept such an offer, though they doubted if the sum would be reached by auction, and the sale on Thursday is the re- [ suit. We caution buyers to look up , the entries made for other meetings, so that they may be prepared to make reasonable offers for the different lots as outsiders are bound to secure them if possible.
