Good men at the start and end of the Bourse should satisfy the competitors. , The improvements on the course have-all been in the direction of meeting the comfort and convenience o! visitors—the totalisator house has been placed in a more convenient position; the lawn and saddling paddock has been much enlarged; and the other appointments are all to secure greater publicity and despatch. In minor matters we may stall that the catering for the luncheon has been placed in the hands of the! well-known Langley Bros., whose] name ii a guarantee for a good luncheon, well put on, and visitors i attended to. The Fox ton' Brass | Band will play a good selection of I music, and if the day is fine, which! it has been the good luck of the Club to have in the past, the meeting should be a crowded and a raerr one. Bidders will of course exercuu their own opinion, but as far as m can forecast, the bidding will be brisker and higher than ever known previously.
