HARRIERS.

«*» The Pacific Club held its Two-mile Handicap at Forbury Park under favourable conditions, the track being- in splendid order, and the weather all that could be desired. The nine starters were got away in good time, and A. Ritchie (the limit man) led the field round the first lap, although Hill and Grey were closing on him fast. In the second round Hill took first place, with Grey running second about five yards behind, while it was obvious that tho rest of the competitors were being left. After passing the post the third time, the two leaders began to open out, and a stiff pace down the back straight was maintained. Coming- up at the finish, Hill put on a sprint, and beat Grey for first place by about 15 yards; while Stark, who was some 200 yards behind Grey, gained third place. Result: M. Hill, Bsec, 1; A. E. Grey, lOsec, 2; W. Stark, 6sec, 3. Time, llroin Ssec. The Anglican Harriers ran from St. Mary's Schoolroom, Mornington. The trail led down into the Kaikorai Valley and up the opposite hills, turning towards Mount Grand. Near the southern reservoir the paper led the pack across the Kaikorai YaJley again at the southern end, and mounted the hills above Caversham, whence the road was followed home. In the run home for the points' competition, Burk was first and Edmond second. Afterwards the members spent a very pleasant evening -as guests of the young ladies of the parish. The St. Kilda Harriers held their first sports meeting at ITorbury Park under ideal weather- conditions. In the 100 Yards Boardman and Perry had a close finish, the former winning by about one yard. The 220 Yards Championship, which was a hard race, was won easily by Perry. In the Halfmile Smith took the lead from the start. and won easily, with Perry close up.
