At the start Morris got away the best, and at •ne time was leading by yards. When nearing the finish and passing the stand, McLachlan drew level, but Morris, by his forward running, breasted the tape first from 4 to 5 inches. Time. 12 sec. The race was witnessed by a large number of people and considered by many to be the best sprint they had ever seen run. Messrs. Alf. Bayley and Crawshaw held the tape and Mr. H. Curtis was starter.”
