Amateur Athletics.
The Wellington Amateur Athletic Club have definitely decided to hold a sports meeting on the last Saturday in March. Two events open to the pupils of colleges and schools respectively have been placed on the programme of events. Mr. Stuart Robinson, the club's honorary secretary, has just returned from a honeymoon trip, and he informs me that a large number of new members have joined the club, many of whom are in active training for the forthcoming events. As to whether the revival in amateur athletics in Wellington is to be permanent this meeting alone will prove, and it is to be hoped that ,the efforts of the amateurs to provide clean and wholesome sport may meet with the greatest measure of success. Mr. W. F. Simpson, the long-distance champion, will be a competitor at the gathering, and at his desire the threemile event was reduced to two miles. Simpson will endeavour to make an attempt at a fresh record for this event.
