Australasian Championship Meeting.
/Per Press Association) Chkistchukch, This Day. Excellent entries have been received for the Australasian Championships. There was some fear the reputation of Korr would have frightened cyclists, but they have come to the scratch well so far In the pedestrian events tbcro is a plethora of entries, and the officials are afraid if some of the men do not withdraw they may have to run such events as the quarter-mile in heats, which would be highly objectionable. N.Z., Victoria, and N.S.W. are well represented, and great interest is felt in the meeting between Corner and the young Dunedin long distance champion Bennett, and in addition to the teas) officially picked to represent New Zealand a large number of private on tries have been received. Hemp ton's name, for instance, appears in the 100 yds, but it is not really certain he will run. The principal entries are — 100 yds, 12; mile flat, I'd ; quarter mile, 11; 220 yds, 11 ; long jump, 7 ; high jump, 4 ; 440 yds hurdles, 6; half-mile, 11 ; three-mile, 13. In all tho bicycle evi-nts some ten to a dozen are entered.
