The local training track is in splendid order and a large number of horses are working on it. Tho Manawatu Trotting Club committee is meeting early next week with the idea of holding a matinee meeting on the club’s training track about the end of this month or early in March.

The Manawatu Trotting Club’s programme for its April meeting will be published shortly and will be a pleasant surprise for owners and trainers. Two handsome trophies have boon donated to the club for the meeting.
