OXFORD JOCKEY CLUB.

Thk following handicaps for the atone events has been declared :—: — &t. lb. f-t. lb. (fillip . . 10 10 Old lieland 10 0 Whalebone 10 10 CLT. «t. lb. ht. lb. Larry !) 7 Flying Mary 7 •"> Snake 7 7 Jo 7 0 It will be seen, on lefeumg t<> the advei-tise-l programme ot the mui'ting which appears olsowhoie, that the pii/.es have now been liiuned. The winner of the Maiden Plate will jret 4210 ; tl.~> is the figure for the Kindles, i'lo foi the tfattlcii' Hugo, arid £-~/ each for the Hack llace, the Maori Ka.ce, and the Con'-olation. For the Cup, which as usual will be the event of the day, the money is £'20, with a gold cup added ; but it ih very questionable if the winner of this e\ cut would not prefer the gold cup in coin instead of plate The stewaids nude a grave mistake in not naming the amounts of the piizes before closing the nominations, as doubtless many others would have enteied had they known the extent of the money. Indeed, we know of m\nci-> who purposely deferred nominating xxiitil the prizes .should have been published, believing that the .stewaids would not close the nominations until this- had been done. Anyhow, this fact will be efk-ctual in preventing a like occturence in futuie. We think the handicapping will afford universal satisfaction.
