AMATEUR ATHLETICS

EVENING MEETING AT BASIN RESERVE SOME CLOSE FINISHES Under the glow of the powerful electric lights at the Basin Reserve on Saturday night fast-moving men and women showed their speed and cyclists whizzed around the track with lowered heads. There were several close finishes, and the crowd present were provided with an enjoyable evening’s sport.
