FAST RUNNING

OGG IN FINE FORM ' MEETING AT -LOWER HDTT A fast track and only a,slight breeze were conducive: to good times at the sports meeting held by the Lower Hutt Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club on the Hutt Eecreation Ground last evening. The outstanding performance was that of W. B. .Ogg, who attempted to beat the New Zealand record for 1000 yards of Sinin 18 3-ssoc, established by Lloyd Hahn, of' America, when ho was in New Zealand. In a hard race Ogg, from scratch, ran into fourth place, his time for the full distance being 2min 17 1-oscc.
