Notes supplied by one of the officials of the Kiwi,Amateur;Athletic, Club record the most successful season for the j club to date. The club has won most of the trophies for open competition, including the Dewar and A. C. Kitto Shields, and splendid club spirit has been shown.

Roberts and W. H." Roberts, brothers, who have conipcted in Wellington/often, came down from the Wairarapa specially to see Metcalfe in action. Both took part in the high jump. Apart ffo.m. the performances of. the Australians, the most notable efforts by a local athlete at Saturday's meeting were those of the' young Rongotai College sprinter, C. E. Robinson. Still well under twenty years of age, this tall, lithe boy shows more promise than anyone else in Wellington at the present, time. He should have years of running ahead of him, and one hopes that, he will conserve the promise he shows by not allowing himself to fall a victim to any excess of enthusiasm. The'story of those who have done so in the past is not a happy one to those who remember them in the fire of their youth.
