CYCLING.

PAPATOETOE STADIUM. In addition to the school children's events, decided by the Papatoetoe Amateur Athletic and Cycle Club on Saturday several cycling events were conducted. The sprint events provided exciting finishes. They were over one lap only, and as the track is only one-sixth of a mile round fast movement was witnessed. Sprint champion Hen. R.
