ATHLETICS

TO-NIGHT'S MEETING AT HASTINGS, THREE VISITING CHAMPIONS COMPETING. At 8 o’clock to-night, on Nelson Park. Hastings, the Hastings Amateui Athletic and Cycling Club will hold a sports meeting that promises to eclipse all others. Tlie club has been enterprising enough to persuade three visiting champions from Wellington to take part. They are Jenkins, tho champion sprinter. Ogg, the middle-distance champion, and Gane, the crack cyclist. Apart from them however, there will be a splendid array of the very best local talent, and the entries are larger than ever before. It is sure to be a wonderful meeting, and it is hoped that the public will be wise enough to give themselves a treat by attending. and thus show their appreciation of the work that the club is doing in the promotion and encouragement of physical fitness. WAIPAWA MEETING. LAST NIGHT’S RESULTS. The Waipawa Amateur Athletic Club held its meeting yesterday. The executive committee had left no stone unturned to ensure a successful day; the entries were excellent and amongst them were some of the best performers in the North Island. Unfortunately, tho weather was unpropitious and the proceedings were married ou that account. In the early part of tho day the weather was unpromising and after the sports began there were several sharp showers. While these did not affect the running events much, they spoiled the cycling, making the bends very dangerous, with tho result that in nearly all the cycling events there were spills, though, fortunately, without serious results. In the twolap cycle handicap only two of the competitors finished, and one of those had only on* pedal left. Following are the results:— Hop, Step and Jump.—Phillips scr. (42ft 6in) 1, C.
