During the whole of the championship meeting adverse weather has been encountered. For the last, six days snow has been falling almost continuously on the Ball glacier, with further intermittent snowstorms to-day. It was proposed to hold the downhill race from the lop of the Ball Pass, but as the course would not be safe owing to danger from avalanches for some days it was decided to abandon this event. Competitors in the ski jump took off in driving wind and snow, which considerably reduced the chances of much greater distances being made. H. Wigley made three excellent jumps without a fall. The three placed men were H. Wigley (Tasman Ski Club). 39ft 6in and 40ft lin, 1; R. McKenzie .(Tasman Ski Club), 24ft lin, 22ft Sin, 2; H. Carter (Ruapehu Ski Club), 24ft • 4in and 25ft 9in, 3.
