AMATEUR ATHLETICS

MEETING AT DOMAIN FOUR WINS TO THOMPSON FKLAYSON JUMPS WELL Fine ty p thr prevailed yesterday when a large crowd of interested spectators witnessed a splendid programme of athletic and cycling events held at the Domain in connection with the annual Labour Day celebrations. The j outstanding performer was W. G. j Thompson, who registered Jour good vie- [ tones by annexing the < o yards, 150 j yards and 300 yards handicaps and the 220 vards hurdles event. An excellent | effort by F. D. Finlayson. New Zealand j hurdles record holder, enabled him to j clear 22ft. iin. in The broad jump. I He was unlucky to be defeated in the j 220 yards hurdles handicap by Thornp- j son, who won right on the tape after | the champion, thinking that be was ■ well clear or the field, had eased up j considerably. ' j The running and cycling tracks were j in excellent condition for so early in j the season, but times registered were j not fast. The Highland and National Dancing Society controlled the dancing j events, which provided excellent enter- • tamment or a high standard.
