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. Another feature of the meeting was the piping and dancing events, the piping competition constituting the lirst championship held in Auckland for ten years. The Passenger Transport Cup was won by A. Bellingham with 12 points, C. Francis being second with 8 points, and A. Martin (Papatoetoe) third with 6 points. Last year's winner, A. J. Sayers, scored only 2 points.
