POVERTY BAY TROTTING CLUB; NOMINATIONS FOR ANNUAL MEETING From the very large nominations received last evening the meeting ing of the Poverty Bay Trotting Club to be held on the Park racecourse on Saturday, Jan. 29, the fixture being set down for the first time in January instead of July, promises to be the most successful in every way. The club, headed the energetic president, Mr F. lolerton, the ‘ vice-president, Mr R. C. Fisken, and the secretary, Mr 1. E. Dodd, has gone to considerable trouble to cater for the outside owners. Arrangements have been made for the Gunbar to carry horses from north and south and unload at the-wharf, thus doing away with the inconvenience of transhipping in the harbor. To all visiting owners not securing any place money at the meeting the Club will pay boat fare for horses one way only. With these inducements, Coupled with a suitable date and good stake money it is little wonder that outside owners have nominated in full force, stables in Auckland, Hastings, Napier, Pahiatua, Carterton and Hawera being amongst those represented. Altogether, no fewer than 41 outside horses are nominated, and it is anticipated that given fine weather, the meeting will be an outstanding success. Following are the nominations Trial Handicap (harness) 1) miles. —Marion Junior, Ben Zolock, Shirley Audubon, Boston Chimes, Carbine Direct, Grey Logan, Audubon Mac, Huia Maid, Great Audo, Huiarama, Ngahiua.
