IN BEST FORM U. E. B. NEWTON could not strike form on his recent visit -to Canterbury. Consequently, some southern writers reckoned he would have no chance against their men m the quarter and half-mile events at the New Zealand championship meeting to be held at . Wellington shortly. Since returning home Newton has improved, and he got well inside 2min. for the half-mile at the Wellington — Wanganui inter-club meet. If he can repeat that performance at Wellington on Saturday the man who beats him should win. SHOWING SPEED DUNNERS R. Noonan and M. H. . Prince had a great time at the Taranaki Caledonian sports, the former winning the 220 and -HO and was second m tile 100 yds., whilst the latter was first m the 100 and second m the 220 and 440 yards. ' New Plymouth cyclists A. W. Ellis and C. Lehrhe did nearly as well. The former was first m the mile and twoniil'e and tiie latter first m the threemile, second m the half-mile and mile.
