The principal feature of the day was a race between G. P. Keddell, New-. Zealand champion, and Templeton, the American crack, in their heat of the 120 Yards hurdles handicap. The New Zealand man got home by a bare margin. A 75 yards invitation race-between Templeton and Keddell was abandoned owing to Keddell being-unwell. During the afternoon exhibitions of javelin and. discus throwing and pole vaulting were. given- ; by the visitors. . ..' ■ :. .>
