AMATEUR ATHLETICS, NURMI, ROSE, AND HAHN. [Pee United Press Association.] MASTERTON, January 8. A meeting between R. A. Rose, Australasian champion distance runner, and Paavo Nurmi, the Finnish crack, is unlikely to eventuate for another yea:’, if at all, Nurmi having replied to representations made on Rose’s behalf as followsl have received your letter, and in reply would say that it is not clear when the race is to take place. I can hardly undertake a journey in the near future, but could ferhaps do so next autumn, although cannot definitely promise this.” Owing to operations on his farm interfering with his preparation, Rose bad decided not to compete against ffabn at Maaterton on February 6, but has since acceded to pressure from local athletic officials, and has given an assurance that ho will compete. When ho and Hahn are due to meet for the first time he will not bo at the top of bis form, as he had anticipated reserving himself for the return visit of the Americans to Mastcrton in March,

CROMWELL RACES, [By Sr. Clair.] FIRST DAY. The first day of the Cromwell Jockey Chib’s Meeting was both m hot but windy weather. Iho attendance was not as good as last year, and tho track was vciy- hard, ihe racing was not interesting on account of the smallness of the holds, excepting tho trotting races. D. Hussey, driver of Dolly Horn in the Upper Clutha Trot, was fined £5 for dosing in too soon. Tho sum of £3,5/1) was handled by the totalisator as compared with £3,761 last year. Rossano was withdrawn from the Goldfields Hack Race, 6f, and Earnsclough (Kilbroncy—Petrovna, nddon by T. Metcalf), who won at tho Hawca Flat Mooting was sent out a better favorite than Bonhopo, only this pair being backed. From a moving in start the field went away on even terms, and Earncleugh and Bdnhope at once drew out and led to two and a-haif furlongs from home, where the latter was done with and Clutha ran into second place. The favorite easily maintained her advantage, and won by two lengths from Clutha, with Bonhope a similar distance away third, Silver Lining fourth. Time, Inun 19 1-s sec. Totalisator, £437. Only Rob (Soiferino—Quiz, ridden by Beale), Bonny Lake, and Arrowmir started in tho Cromwell Hack Handicap, 6f, and they were backed in that order. ’ The trio ran together for a couple of furlongs, , and then tnc favorite took charge and went on to win easily by four lengths from Bonny Lake, with Arrowmir six lengths away third. Time, Imin 17 3-ssec. Totalisator, £313). _ , In tho Upper Clutha Harness Trot, 2m, Dolly Horn (Houi—Dexter mare, driven by D. Hussey), was made favorite with Anti Acido and Sheila Fleetwood tho only other starters backed. The favorite was in front at the end of half a mile followed by Adona, who broke soperai lines when almost on terms with her. Over the last half mile Dolly Houi had matters all her own way, and won easly by three lengths from Adona, with Anti Acido fifteen lengths off third, just in front of Sheila Fleetwood, who lost several seconds at the start. Times, smin 6sec, smin 12 S-ssec, smin lOsec, Totalisator, £652). Arrowmir (Arrowsmith —Lady Vladomir, ridden by W. Cooper), only had April Showers and Wise ConnsslW to beat in tho Lowbum Hack Handicap, 6f, and he was well backed.

In tho Mount Pisa Hack Handicap, of, Quickform was made another hot favorite, with Kilmosca, Claremar, Clutha (Obsono— Lady Clutha, ridden by C, Sinclair), and Wild Berry the other starters backed in that order. Clutha and Quickform led to the approach to tho homo turn, where Wild Berry was lying dose up. Clutha crossed over turning for homo, and rater fered with tho favorite and Wild Berry, who was nearly put over the rails. Clutha came on and boat the favorite by a length, Kilmosca four lengths off just in front of Wild Berry. Time, Imin 4 4-ssec. Totalisator, £509. An inquiry was hdd into the crossing, and the Judicial Committee found that the crossing by Clutha did not affect the result of the race, and the judge’s placing was not disturbed, Sinclair, the ridor of Clutha was suspeded for the remainder of the meeting. Gladwell, with a reputation of being a 2.20 mare, on the limit, was made a hot favorite in the Kawaraa Saddle Trot, l)m, with Gold Chimes, Sheila Fleetwood, and Rothstar (Rothschild —Princess Eugene, ridden by Beale), next in demand, Tho favorite led Rothstar for seven furlongs. Then Rothstar headed her, and stayed on to win easily by twelve lengths from Gladwell, with Dolly Houi (who started from 120yds behind) third, a head in front of Sheila Fleetwood.
