As there are no local or New Zealand races of any note until the "Melbourne and New Zealand Cups of 1884, between 5 and 6. months from d:tte (19th May)," we think it too long to hold our client's money .by starting these big events, and thereforeopea the above programme on the t*• Waterloo Cup," Com*sing Match, and from our present aod.past successes morally guaranteeing it will fill. Our programme on Queen's Birthday filled 50 per cent, over the original issue, (2893 against 2000). EACH TICKET HAS SIX CHANCE and is drawn o^ the principle tbat if apr gramme does not fill, prizes are - paid pro rata. w e re6erve to ourselves the" right of continuing the sale of shares over advertised number, if necessity demands it, and the eby adding to the value of aU prizes by a pro rata addition. .
