HARRIERS

About fifty members of the four barrier clubs of the city held a combined run at Lyall Hay on Saturday. The number was made up of Wellington (13), Brooklyn (15), Olympic (13), Scottish (9). The trail was laid by one member from each club. The course led along the beach over the 6and-hills to tho hills overlooking fieatoun, then down through the golf links towards Miramar; a turn was then made for the gasometer, where the pack lost sight of the paper. Captain Harrington, of Wellington Club, who had charge of the pack, acted as pacemaker for the rest of tho journey, F. Harlen, captain of the Brooklyn Club, acting as whipper-in-. AY hen about 440 yards from home, the pack was lined up for tho run-iu, all starting from scratch. The place-getters were: F. J. Byrne (Olympic), 1; S. Hall (Scottish), 2; A. M'Cauley (Olympic), 3; H. Mio (Brooklyn), 4; W. Donaldson (Wellington), 5; j. Wilson (Olympic), 6. A feature of the afternoon was the presence of Nurse Everitt, the sports candidate of the Queen Carnival. She met with an enthusiastic reception, and was assured of the support of the Harriers Clubs. Harriers are reminded of the twomile race on Newtown next Thursday, and a five-mile road race from the Park on Saturday. Both events are handicaps and in connection with the Queen Carnival. Entries close on Tuesday night with Mr. J. C. Cusack, Maimers Street, or any„club secretary.
