ANOTHER COMPLAINT.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —The handicaps, as made out by Mr Kivell for the Star Sports on Mor day, could s f and a lo'; of alteration. I will first mention the bicycle events. Now, Mr Kivell is asking McPhail to ive 300 yds start in the 2-mile, a limit which was never before given in Taraaki, No?», sir, at \Vfcv*rWy Campion; • ad 60ycU fern McPhail in the 2-mib arid in tho mile, and won as he liked. At the Star Sports he has got 95yds in the mila and 175 yds in the 2-mi ! e from SJcPkiil. Is this handicapping on performances ? At Ingle*oad O&mpion had 80yds from McPhail and won by himself. After this he is put up 15yds ! Dyinond is the oext min, who in left out of the rate. ffe was placed on the same mark as Campion at Waverley and never saw -.! m. Notice the allowance in the present handicap, What has Kirkwood ■lonu ? I thick if be and Scot ! ; wire to change tbeir marks it would be batter. As I am not a "pod." I will leave the foot races alone, but complains can be heard a* f very street corner. A petition is being largely signed hy athletes in Taracaki declining to waste their money under the present hendicspper, which we hops will sscure a change next season. Thanking you for your valuable spice.—l am, etc., Also Started.
