CYCLING

VICTORIA PARK RACES. Another interesting series of club races was held by the GreymouthUnited Cycling Club, at Victoria Park last evening. The half-mile race, which drew a strong field, was won by the consistent rider, J. Daniels, with J. Larking in second place, and the scratch man, H. Turtill, third. A small field in the two-mile event provided a good race, although the back markers were given every opportunity by catching up on their handicaps, over the first qgarter-mile. The field rede in close formation till well into the straight the final time. In the sprint home, Duffy held on narrowly to defeat Turtill, with Daniels close up. The boys’ races again attracted good entries, and keen contests. The following were the results: —
