AMATEUR ATHLETICS

CHAMPIONSHIPS TO-MORROW. If the weather keeps fine there is every, prospect of, a first-dafil sports meeting on the Basih Reserve to-mor-row, when the Wellington provincial championships will be decided. The chief contest will centre round the M'Villy Shield, which is awarded to the club scoring most point*. . The Masterton Club is sending down no less than forty-seven men, and the contest between them and the -holders— the Wei. lington Amateur Athletic Club— should be very keen. In addition there are three ( handsome challenge cups to be competed' for— the Guise Cup for the 100 yds flat championship, the Bannister Cup for the*. 44oyds flat championship, . and i the W. H. Eolloek Cup for the 880yd8* flat championship. The entries for all events are very satisfactory, and there is hardly an amateur of note who will not bo' competing. The first event is timed to start at 2.15 p.m. { Tho arrangements for the New Zealand Championship Meeting will be made at a meeting to be held next Monday evening. Amongst other matters the following notices of motion will be dealt with :— (1) That Mr. Duncan's motion re substitution of trophies, etc., for medals as prizes to winners of the New Zealand championships be rescinded and expunged from the records of the centre 5 (2) that a permanent programme for the M'Villy Shield competition be drawn up at this meetihg, and strictly adhered to at all future provincial championship meetings j (3) that the programme for' the M'Villy Shield competition be the New Zealand championship programme.
