IRRELIGIOUS CYCLISTS.
A CHANGE OF NAME,
Per Press Association.
Christchurch, last night,
A deputation of clergymen and members of cricket clubs waited on the Christchurch Cycling Club to-night, aDd asked them to discontinue holding sports meetings on Good Friday, on the ground that it was a sacred day, and should be observed as such. The Club decided to hold the meeting, as arrangements had already been made, but in deference to the views of those taking objection, changed the name of the Good Friday Handicap to Easter Handicap.
