CYCLING AND FOOTBALL. Cold tut fine ■weather prevailed yeetcrday afternoon, when a three-quarter mile cycling handicap race and a football match, Yorkshire v. Lancashire (promoted by the Canterbury Football Association) were ' held. There was a poor o ttendance of the public. Considering the fact that the players of both teams had had no previous practice together, and therefore lacked combination, the footbal] match was fair. The cycling was not so thrilling as it was expected to be, owing to the small number oC- comretitiors. Out of a total of 29 entries only 9 men turned out to race. Cycling. Firet heat—C.
