ATHLETICS.

DUNSANDEL SPORTS. Fine weather prevailed yesterday morning I when the Dunsandel Sports Association opened its annual meeting in the local demain. Shortly before three o'clock, however, rain eet in and interfered with the enjoyment of the sports for a while. There was a very good attendance of the general public and the racing throughout was keen and interesting. Splendid entries were received for the cycling races, many of the best-known cash riders being engaged. Music was supplied by a Highland pipe band, and the dancing events were followed with lively interest by a considerable section of the spectators. The club's revenue was substantially augmented by the proceeds of various games and side-shows. The meeting was well managed by a strong body of officials, assisted by the president of the Canterbury Centre of the New Zealand Athletio and Cycling Union and other Centre officials. Mr E. L. Chatterton ably carried out the secretarial duties, and Mr C. A. Wright acted as president, in the unavoidable absence of his brother, Mr H. F. Wright, who is in hospital. As a result of an accident in the second heat of the half-mile cycle race, when ten riders were brought down, two men were sent away for hospital treatment.
