SOME TIPS AND SELECTIONS FOR TO-DAY.

The weather during the past fortnight has been far from ideal, and it is certain that whatever, happens, times at Happy Valley this afternoon, when the Jockey Club wift be holding their Third Extra Race Meeting, will be on the, alow side.

A very lengthy and varied programme has been arrangid and chief interest, no doubt, will be centred on the Second Aggre gatg Stakes in which the best ponies in the Colony are likely to
