ATHLETICS

INTER-CLUB SCRATCH MEETING SECONB HALF OP SEASON OPENED BAWKE»S BAY VISITOR PROMINENT Tht absence of many of Canterbury's leading competitors detracted a great deal from the interest and the standard of performances at the inter-club meeting with which the second half cf the amateur athletic season was opened on Saturday afternoon. The Ensor's road ground was used, and condition* there were not helpful to the runners. A steady north-east breeze blew across the ground, and the tracks were not fast

Hie best of the performances was a fine half-mile by the Hawke's Bay visitor, E. Forne; he finished strongly 25 yards ahead of his field, to win in 2min 0 4-sscc, time which, considering the conditions, was excellent. G. P. Irving (Sumner) had led the field most of the way, and with him was H. C. McCaskey (Sumner), until Forne, with an impressive style, went to the front out of the back straight, leaving the rest of the field standing. McCaskey challenged Irving in a close finish for second place. McCaskey getting home inches ahead. The Canterbury three miles champion, G. II Watson, showed unproved form when he won the three miles m 15min 31 l-ssec. the best time he has done In open competition this season. He won as he pleased. F. W. Dukes (Sydenham) again walked the mile within the Canterbury standard time. His figures were 7mm 41 4-ssec. H. W. Wilkins (Technical) beat Mt S. Barraclough (Canterbury) in the hop, step, and Jump, with 42ft Sia, and C. W. Welch (Technical) threw the hammer 110 ft lOin. Barraclough cleared 10ft 6ia in the pole vault. The clubs were divided into sections tor the day as follows: Section I—Technical. Canterbury, Sydenham. Celtic, Sumner, Kaiapoi. and New Zealand Newspapers. Section 2—Presbyterian, Old Boys, University, New Brighton, Rangiora, and Civil Service. The competition among the clubs was particularly interesting. Presbyterian made a stout effort, and amassed a huge total of 98 points in the second ' section. This is the highest yet scored by a B grade club. Technical, in the " tort section, strengthened its lead by scoring 121.
