The MASTER of the HORSE gives notice that after 1875, with a view to encourage a greater number and a higher class of horses running for Her Majesty's Plates, the number of plates will be reduced and their value doubled. No plate to be given at a meeting not held annually and otherwise supported by public money.

No geldings to be allowed to run, and no plate to be confined to mares.
