Owners and trainers are reminded that nominations for the Egmont-Wanganul Hunt Club meeting, which is to be held at the Egmont Club’s racecourse, Hawera, on Wednesday, August 31, close with the secretary (Mr. W. MacFarlane) at Waverlcy to-morrow evening, at 8 o’clock. The programme is a very attractive one, and should well repay perusal. An Eltham sport was in high spirits on Monday. He stood to win a thousand pounds on a double. His first “leg” was in, Coalition having won the Grand National, and he had been coupled with three others in the Winter Cup. However, the fates were against him, for lie only secured second in the Cup. He had an interesting little flutter (says the local Argus).
