Elliot 3. The prize awarded to the cyclist showing the best sportsmanship went to M. Harper. The prize for the rider attending the most Saturday afternoon meetings was won by A. Rnlston. The annual 100-mile race from Palmerston North 'to Wellington is to be held during the coming Labour Day weekend and two local riders will 'be goihg all out in an effort td gain ftirther laurels for the Levin- club. They are H. Donovan and M. Harper, who carry with them the wishes of good luck and good riding from j fc.llow members.
