Passing, the pavilion Williams headed Henderson, but Chevis, who was still pegging/ away, held his own. right round, and although run right out, he lasted long enough to win by three yards from Marriott, who put in a telling run _up tho straight ;s.

Given fine weather it is anticipated thaS the concluding events of the Australasian Championship Meeting, to be run off •; this.' afternoon, will attract an attendance of-8000 - A 1 ; or 9000 spetcators, so keen is' the interest in A tho' gathering.The programme is a most: ' •attractive one,_ .the majorityof the races . "• likely to ! furnish - exciting and interesting ; finishes such as the public' so dearly love. , having been held in reserve. ' In the 100 yds. G. W. Smith will meet, among others, Moir' (Victoria) and Henderson (New. South Wales), and in the 220 yds he will be opposed by the same pair. With three such men as these measuring strides the events mentioned should in themselves prove 5 sufficient to; at- ; - ■ tract a record attendance, - but these are" not , the only strong . draw cards, *.■ as the .: threemile runin which Simpson, of New Zea- , land, will meet allcomers—the one-mild ' walk Wilson meeting : Barrettand ! the 440 yds hurdles, in which Smith will also do-' ■battlo for this colony, should also be inter- " . ■ ' esting contests.".
