ST. JOSEPH’S HARRIERS, DUNEDIN

St. Joseph's Harriers held their annual one mile and a-half novice race at For bury Park. In the absence of Mr. H. Burke, Mr. C. Collins acted as timekeeper and starter, and had little difficulty in, getting away a field of 18 starters. All retained their positions until the second lap, when A, .Nelson and T. O'Brien let F. Mullin take the lead. A. J. Tourell, however, soon forced his way to the front, with T. Roughan, who had by -this time passed the rest" of the field, close on his heels. ' Coming up the straight the positions were: T. Roughan first, A. J. Tourell second, and J. O'Farrell third. These positions were maintained to the finish. Result—T.
