DUNEDIN CYCLING" CLUB.

PATRIOTIC SPORTS. The twenty-tirst annua! sports meeting of the Duncdin Cycling Club was held in the Caledonian Grounds on Saturday, and more than usual interest. was attached to the meeting. because Hie Committee. had ticiir-rously oftercd to ■,'ive the net proceeds to tho Patriotic Fund. The attendance, doubtless owiir.; lo the counter attractions and. doubtful-looking weather, was not very satisfactory. At first", to the absence of some of the officials, there was a delay in tho arrangements, but during the major part of the afternoon everything was carried out in a satisfactory manner, and l':e thanks of ihe Press are due to Messrs D. Dunci!:; and F. Juto for t;Hr aitenlion. Secretary Sullivan and his assistants also worked well, and couwibuir.l to tho success of (he meeting.
