SYDNEY, September 7.

The interstate downhill race was held this morning in a bitter wind and on hard snow. The descent was 1100 feet over a mile and three-quarters. Non-competitive entries were allowed in addition to the men's and women's teams.

1 Victoria won the men's event with 100 per cent. New South Wales was second with 99.42 per cent.
