The above meeting, commonly referred to as the "Double Tenth" Meeting, will be a two day affair, the chief attraction being the October Handleap to-morrow afternoon and the Double Tenth Plate on Monday.

The eight events scheduled for the first day are all handicaps, and judging by the excellent racing at the last meeting, it is anticipated that to-morrow's programme will be just as keenly contested. All the Northern Jockeys participating at the Seventh Extra Meeting are still with us and will be riding over the week-end. which should contribute in ne small measure to the success of the meeting.
