SCOTTISH CLUB

Despite the rough weather a- few supporters and 45 members of the Scottish Club met at the Miramar tennis courts for the novice race. The course, selected by Stevens and Buchanan, started from the tennis court gates, went up to the top of Darlington Road, and then across the swamp, thence up the hill to the old cowyard, and over another hill and into Tauhinu Road, up to the gasworks, along Miramar Avenue to Para Street, along Para Street to Darlington Road, to finish at the starting point, in all about 2% miles. Nineteen runners started. The race was full of interest and the runners soon began to change places. Duffy, the limit man, held the lead to Tauhinu Road, where the middle-mark men began to come up. At this stage Garty, the winner, and Frederic came, on the scene, closely followed 'by the backmarkers. Archer (scr) was just short of the necessary experience to make the front men step on it, and he did well to finish in. sixth place and gain fastest time. Into Darlington Road Garty had a lead of about fifty yards from Frederic, Leeks, and Williamson, with a bunch following further, back. . Garty seemed to take it easy and he came on to win by about 20 yards from Frederic, who was a similar distance ahead of Leeks. The results were as follows:—Garty (lmin 50sec), 17 mm 21sec, 1; Frederic (Imin), 17min 29 sec, 2; Leeks (lmin 40sec), 17min 39sec, 3. Fastest times:—Archer (scr), ldmin 39 see, 1; Elleray, lamin 55see, 2; Garty (lmin oOsce), 16m in 11 see, 3.
