Harriers EVENTS FOR WOMEN

Interprovincial Contest

The first official interprovincial contests for Canterbury women harriers may be arranged during the '*oming season. The Canterbury Cross-Country Running Management Committee at its meeting last evening decided to open negotiations with Auckland on the subject.

Unofficial races had taken place between the women harriers of Auckland and Canterbury, said Mr L. A: King, who moved that the harrier sub-committee of the Auckland centre should be asked if it was agreeable to having the exchangee put on an official basis. Such a meeting would hasten the introduction of a New Zealand championship race for women, said Mr King. The motion was approved. Canterbury is willing to arrange the first race but it is also preSared to travel to Auckland should le Auckland centre prefer that. The New Zealand championships would be held on a two-mile circuit at Invercargill this year, reported the chairman (Mr A Memory). This meant that seniors would run a little more than three laps for their race instead of the usual two. Juniors just over a lap and a half instead of once round the usual three and one-eighth mile circuit Registration Fees
