AMATEUR ATHLETICS.

CARNIVAL HELD AT OTAHUHU FAST HUNDRED BY ELLIOT. DISTANCE RUNNERS IN FORM. A big crowd was present at Otnhu.hu on Saturday when an amateur athletic carnival was held at Sturges Park, an ideal athletic ground formed in an old crater with a natural grandstand on three sides for the spectators. The ground was in perfect condition. and, although the times were slowed up by a strong wind that blew xiglit down the field the racing throughout was close and exciting. A. J. Elliot ran a magnificent rnco to win the 100 yards in 10s dead, while K. Munro finished brilliantly in capturing the 220 yards. Owing to the leneth of the distance track there was a misunderstanding in the. 880 yards and an extra lap was run by lmstaKe, J. W. bavi dan profiting most and winning easily. * • F Cooper was right back to form and drew away in the last lup of the mile, to win by 10 yards, with Saviclan jnoiher 10 yards away third. . During the afternoon teams from the Auckland Girls' Athle'ic Association, Heard s (2) Weeks and Berlci, gave a series of displays which were greatly appreciated by the public.

—... . . y. OTAGO PEOVINOIAI. TITIBS. 'team for dominion meeting. [by telegraph. —rRESS? - DUNEDIN, Sunday. V The Otago athletic championships decided to-day at Cariabrcok in a si«ady downpour of rain, most of the performance being excellent under the conditions. ' M A decided impression was made by £ A. Cameron, of Oamaru,' who won the jump, the hop. step and jump, and the high jump without being extended. The ground ' was sodden, but in the long jump he dij ' 22ft. 105 in., in-the, hiish jump sft. 6in., after which he retired, having beaten all .th, others, and in the hop, step- and jump 46ft. 7jin. The 100 yard 3 was run in 10 3-5s by H. J. Pearce, the winner putting: up a y try fine performance under the conditions. The finest race of the • day was the 880 yard 3, which was won by L. C. McLachl» a in 2m 4s. and. judging by form, the runners would certainly have broken two minules had the track been in good condition. The 440 yards was won by J . Pickering, of Invercargill, late of Wellington, who won by a yard in 53 seconds. J. G. Barnei won the mile in ta 83 4-ss, coming t 0 light with a wonderful sprint 50 yard! from home. The New Zealand champion, G. S. Cabot, won both half .md one-mile walks comfortably. The following team has been selected to represent Otago at the New Zealand championships at Auckland:—A. A. Cameron (hop step and jump, long jump, high and discus); I. O. Hanson. 120 yards and 440 yards hurdles), G. 8. Cabot (half-mile and on© mile walks), Cr. Barnes (on© sud three miles), J. G.
