Fragmentary 1912 Bower Turf Club Annual page lists officials and names such as Cnnminglass, Palmer, Roberts, Davis, and J. Hf among others. The readable section names various roles and attendees though many words are garbled.
A garbled programme listing multiple horse handicaps, prizes, and start times. It names races such as Luncheon Handicap and Final events, with entries like Harry Scurry and other horses, but OCR text is corrupted, yielding inconsistent times and placeholders.
An article extols a Barmedman clairvoyant as surpassing earlier Australian forecasters like Zekiel Old Moore and others. It cites predictions for 1918 including heavy seas, cyclones, and stock losses, plus earthquakes in New Zealand and Australia, with a drought forecast lasting through year’s end.
A fragmentary item references trade rat and seamen in Graceay harbor. The note hints at sailors and merchants but lacks full context, names, dates, or concrete actions.

Includes names and places such as Dread View Virginia Kelly Queen's Hotel and Grand Central Boset, with various businesses and inns referenced in a period style directory entry.
Tender notices announce bids for a cloning project with firms including Tomtors and Philp and a Benet contract. Details are garbled but call for examination of documents at Dual Sampany Limited and award to the lowest or any tender deemed acceptable.
