A strong wind hampered 'his efforts, but ho finished up strongly. J. V. Scliolz took part in short sprints, and when the final of the 220 yards started he ran on the outside of the field, leaving after the pun was fired. Later he gave a demonstration of the style adopted by American hijrh jumpers, with J. W. Shirley as the principal pupil. Seholz docs not know over much about cricket, but he can play baseball. After dressing he was accommodated with a bat, and. to the surprise of the onlooker?, knockpcl the bowling about in fine style. Judging from the interest taken in the visiting athletes, there should be a goodly attendance at the carnival on Saturday. Among the entrants for the cycling events is the smart Canterbury wheelman, E. J. Blakeway. Last evenlns he was goin? well in his heat until brought down, three of the riders coming to grief at the same spot. • One Mile Cycle Handicap.—M. P. Byrnel scr., E. J. Blakeway 10yd*, K. J.
