FORM OF R. A. ROSE IMPROVES RACE WITH- NURMI PROBABLE. A. and N.Z. LONDON, July 8. R. A. Rose, the New Zealand distance running champion, is confident he will equal his New Zealand performances Despite the cinder track. In his fourth appearance on the cinders he did eleven seconds better than on the first. He covered two miles on the grass track at Brighton m 9m. 325, which is two seconds outside the Australasian record.

It is very likely, however, that Nurmi will compete at the Dutch championships on July 18. For that reason, Rose has entered for the 1500 and 5000 metres at the Dutch meeting Later ho expects to go to Oslo ana Stockholm, and to leave for America on August 25. He will sail for New Zealand on September 8.
