The sprint, over seven furlongs has also attracted good nominations in which Ivar, Autolite, Cheerful Lady (claiming dual engagements), Minority. The Champ, Miss Phaleron and Sanction illustrate the quality cf the fields. The other events on the card are also well patronised. The club is making splendid progress in cleaning up the course and the bush surroundings. The track is being watered daily and is stated to be resuming its former good order. The last meeting was held at Easter, 1941. Arrangements are being made to provide train and bus services for patrons. Foutatau a Starter.
