ATHLETIC TITLES

PROVINCIAL MEETING

SURPRISE IN HALF-MILE

W. OGG DEFEATED

There were no , outstanding achievements in the sense of records being broken at the annual Wellington provincial athletic and cycling championship meeting at.Athletic Park on -.Saturday; afternoon, but there were many fine, contests! In four events the.standard was bettered and iv three others equalled. There were about fifteen hundred spectators, which 'was below the usual attendance for the meeting. The weather was fine, but there was rather a stiff, cool southerly breeze, which, while helping competition iv the short sprint races, was against them in other events. , ■ ' The programme was one of the biggest, if nofc the biggest, yet, held, in ail aftcrlioori by the Wellington ..Amateur! Athletic Centre, »nd;credit is:due "to the officials for the way, in which things were handled. . ; It was: necessary to make.astart at I; p.m.—an hour and a half-earlier than usual-^-and; it was not until nearly. 5.30 p.m. that-the meeting, was over, so that spectators were provided with four-hours good, clean sport, with ..iany of the contests, accounting for much excitement. To p;ut the events through to.time everything had to be speeded:up. .Mr. A.,C.'Kitto, the- president of the Wellington Centre, .saw to this, and there were no delays. .. | About twelve titles changed hands, but iv some cases last season's1 champions were not on hand to defend their.titles, F. S. Rainson (huvdles). : 10. (i. Suthetiland (javelin), and, Jfiss'•'■N.-. AVilson (100 yards ladies' championship) being in this class. As""-"a"'result of the earthquake, the Hawkes. Bay-Poverty Bay Sub-Centre team was unable to come down for the itieetiiig, ..the sub-centre's only1 representative.being I. Driseoll, the Dannevirke walker. ■■••.. -.. !The M'Villy Challenge Shield for highest aggregate points was easily .won by the Wellington Club's representatives' with 78 points. The Olympic Club'.waa second and the Wairarapa third. The points scored were as follows: Wellington .78, Olympic 35,; Wairarapa 28, Petone 18, Kiwi 13,-, Athletic 10, Manawatu Sub-Centre '7, University 6, Miramat- 5, HaSvkes Bay-Poverty Bay 4, Lower Hutt i, Motueka 4. ■'..;''.'" •' Following is the key to'the abbreviations , used ia the detailed results: W., Wellington; 'A., Athletic; ;0., Olympic; V., University; Xi, Kiwi; .Man., Manawatu; 'Wai.,:, Wairarapa; : H.8.-P,.8., Hawkes Bay-Poverty Bay; Mir., Miramar; Por., Porirua; L.H., Lower Hutt; Pe., Petone; 8.H., Brooklyn Harriers; S.H., Scottish Harriers; Mot./ Motueka.
