WIGLEY WINS JUMP. UNFAVOURABLE CONDITIONS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) THE IJERMITAGE, Friday. The New Zealand ski championships concluded to-day at Mount Cook with the ski jump, which took place on a slope in front of the Ball Hut. During the whole of the championship meeting adverse weather has prevailed. For the past six dayp snow has been falling almost continuously on the Bail Glacier, with ""further intermittent snowstorms to-day. It was proposed to hold the downhill race from th e top of Ball Pass, but as the course would not have been safe for some days owing to the danger from avalanches it was decided to abandon this event. Competitors in tli e ski jump took off in driving wind and snow, which considerably reduced the chances of great distances being covered. H. Wiglev made three excellent jumps without a fall Results were:— H. Wigley (Tasman Ski Club), 39ft 6111 and 40ft lin. 1: R McKenzie (Tasman Ski Club). 24ft lin and 22ft 3in, 2: H.
