RACES TO-MORROW

TARANAKI CUP MEETING. LEADING HORSES ENGAGED. A large number of visitors are in New Plymouth for the Taranaki Jockey Club autumn meeting, which opens tomorrow, and the fixture promises to be a record one. A number of outside and representative trainers from all parts of the North Island have brought teams, and good racing should be witnessed. The track is in excellent condition. A feature of the second day’s pacing will be the appearance of Gloaming in the Taranaki Stakes, and no doubt many visitors will be attracted to the course to see the champion. Special excursion trains will be run in connection with the fixture. The publican’s booth at the course will be under the supervision of Mr. E. Whittle, and the tea kiosk will be managed by Mrs. May. The Citizens’ Band has been engaged to iplay for the meetIn view of the big traffic which exists on race days, motorists are requested to observe the set routes to and from the course. Drivers who wish to reach the grounds without delay should proceed via Eliot Street, thus avoiding the necessity of a stoppage in Gover Street. Visitors' from the country districts are reminde that the. leaving of cars on the streets constitutes an offence, and that a clause in the by-laws empowers the inspector to remove the vehicles to a place of safety. At the December meeting some offenders received a practical reminder when they found that their cars had been removed to a garage.
