AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
PASSENGER. TRANSPORT CUP. EVENTS KEENLY CONTESTED. Keen competition in all events marked the Passenger Transport Cup meeting, held under the auspices of the Papatoetoe Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club at the Papatoetoe Stadium on Saturday. Despite the fact that 34 events made the programme an unusually lengthy one, the races were run well to time-table in a manner which spoke volumes for the efficiency of the officials.
