WAIKATO HUNT ANNUAL RACE MEETING LABOUR DAY PROGRAMME As usual the Waikato Hunt Club is very early in the field with the programme for its annual race meeting, which is to be held at Cambridge on Labour Day, Monday, October 27.

The programme to be staged by the j Waikato Hunt Club on Labour Day is a most attractive one. with the Hunt Cup, £6OO, and the Members’ Memorial Handicap, £ 300, as the plums for owners of the good performers. The complete programme is as fol- | lows: Maiden Hunters’ Steeplechase, of £l5O (winner to receive £110), about ;2£ miles. Gentlemen riders. For qualified hunters that have never won a race.
