ATHLETIC SPORTS.
PALMERSTON NORTH CLUB. Some good finishes were seen at the Sportsground, last evening, when the Palmerston North Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club held its first open sports meeting this season, competitors being present from Wanganui, Marton, Bulls, Feilding, Eketahuna, Pahiatua, Foxton, arid the Weraroa and Ohakca Air Force stations. There was a large attendance of spectators, but very unsettled weather, with occasional showers of rain, somewhat marred the enjoyment of the meeting. Results :
