EKETAHUNA’S EFFORT FUND AUGMENTED Per Press Association. EKETAHUNA, March 24. There was a record attendance at the amateur athletic sports today at Eketahuna. Rose made his last appearance before leaving on tour* but, having travelled right through from Christchurch* was not in the best of form. Neither did he meet a high enough standaard to extend him. He competed and wOn the mile in 4min 38sec* and the half-mile from the ten-yrad mark in 2min 3 l-ssec. In the mile he was never extended* and won comfortably by fifteen yards. In the halfmile* which was not his distance, he passed the second and third men in* a great spurt* and won on the tape. A sale of roses in aid of the fund for his tour realised £27 Is. These were sold out early in the afternoon* and then subscription lists wc& opened.
