FOXTON RACING CLUB.

ANNUAL MEETING. CUP W(ON BY BLIMP. Tire .first clay of the annual meeting of the Foxton Racing Clulb was held yesterday in ideal summer weather.

There was a certain amount of misgiving as to the wisdom of changing the dates hut the change over as indicated by yesterday’s attendance and investments is not going to prejudice the meeting but will rather add to its popularity. The course was in splendid order and the racing reflected credit upon the judgment of the handicapper Mr. W. 'P. Russell.
