Hunter Shield Athletics

The final round of the Hunter Shield athletic and cycling competition was held.on the Shannon Domain last Tuesday evening, when a large gathering witnessed athletic and cycling events of a very high standard: Foxton, Levin and Otaki were represented by large teams of competitors, with the result that eacb event was keenly contested and, owing to the fact that darkness threatened to cut short the concludirig events of the programme, races had necessarily to follow each other in quick succession. This lack of delay between events was appreciated by the spectators, who responded to the call for donations to the extent of £12 18s. The following are the results of the various events, club representation being shown thus: — Shannon (S), Foxton (F), Levin (L) and Otaki (O) : —
