Of this amount £60 has been collected in Featheraton alone, and it is hoped that within a few months the work will be completed. The committee intend doing the reclaiming themselves, and they are confident of getting through in time to hold the annual races in February. Bell Block races on the 10th inst. were partly spoilt by rain, but as far as regards field and racing they were successful. The Steeple chase (w.£a.) was won by Mr Copestake's Billy, beating Brunning and Nora. There were six starters for the Maiden Plate, which was carried off by Mr Stockman's Sunshine. The Bell Block Handicap attracted seven runners, and a capital race resulted in Mr Gilpin's Catch'em j being declared the winner, with Tawera second. Mr Hoskin's Bonny Lass secured the District Plate, and Mr Oliver's Silent appropriated the llack Race. The Consolation Handicap was won by Mr Elliot's Karama, and the gathering was brought to a close with two or three hack raoes.
