| the athletic talent in this district will [be seen in action, in addition to W. Pullar, of Dunedin (the Empire Games I representative), who recently made a j great showing in his races against V. IP. Boot, the New Zealand champion, ■and H. Backhouse (the crack Victorian) distance runners. I Mrs. V. Rolleson, woman champion printer, is also to be a competitor and great interest will be taken in her appearance.
