Although there lxad been some criticism of the holding of the junior and women’s amateur athletic championships so early in the season, the standard at the meeting which was held on Saturday was- more than satisfactory. The outstanding performance of the afternoon was that of Miss Betty Forbes (North Otago), who improved on her New Zealand high jump record of 4ft lHin with a wonderful leap of sft 0 3-16 in. She should be a likely candidate for the selection in the Empire Games team. AMERICAN COACH FOR WELLINGTON. WELLINGTON, November 20.
