It was unfortunate that she was not pushed, for the New Zealand, and possibly the world records might have toppled. At the end of the first lap Miss Chamberlain led by 15 yards from Miss J.

Woodhouse (Australia) just failed to equal the New Zealand record of sft 7 J in. At her last attempt Miss Woodhouse just touched the bar.
