LOCAL" RACING NOTES,

DAMAGE DONE TO COURSE NOT SENIOUS,

[ET: ARGUS.]

Owing to the recent heavy rains, the race-course at Happy Valley has experi- enced its annual damage.

But fortu nately, so far, the harm done is far less than in former years, and, provided no further beavy rains fall, there is no likelihood of the races fixed for May 1st having to be postponed.

The first signs of serious trouble occur red at it am on Wednesday, when the water in the enlarged nullah” over flawed just below the distance post and carried away some 20 yards of the bank.

A little later the wooden covers on the rulvert in front of the members and public stand were lifted off by the force of the water-n fortunate incident which

relieved the pressure on the culvert itself. The resulting damage is that earth and sand have been washed onto the course for a distance of some 100 yards, though in places the silt on the grass course is almost negligible.
