Fine Card for Autumn Fixture

AVONDALE J.C. PROGRAM^

PROMISING CLASSIC E\LNT

To be lield on the Saturday and Wed--1 nesday following the Easter racing a Ellersiie, the. autumn meeting of th Avondale Jockey Club cannot fail be a great success. In tact, the only thing that could mar the satherinwould be the frowning attentions of Jupiter Fluvius. However, it would appear as if the Avondale Club had sufficient rain and mud for its last spring meeting to warrant its being I favoured with fine weather conditions I for its two fixtures annually f or ti)a i next decade or two.

For the autumn meeting on April 6 and 10 the Avondale Jockey Club has ! drawn up an attractive bill of fare with £2,T00 in stakes on the opening day and 12 2,000 on the concluding dav making a total of £4.700. an amount well in excess of the compulsory total necessary when computed on totalisa. tor returns.
