CYCLING
BIG ROAD RACE The Palmerston North-Wellington cycle road race to be held on September 11th or 18th, will be the biggest of its kind ever held in connection with amateur cycling in New Zealand. It is creating much interest, and there is very prospect of between 80 and 100 cyclists taking part. Such an event, of course, requires big organisation, but the local club has enthusiasts of tho right type, and the controlling bodies of amateur athletics are also keenly interested, so that, with many others who ore willing to assist,' the whole management should leav<? little to be desired Messrs G. 8. Bright and S. Harrison have been busy of late, and their presentation of the proposals in connection with the race has found such favour with business men that trophies to the value of <£3o will be available for the big event. Inquiries about the big road race have been received from all parte of New Zealand. Christchurch and Auckland are bound to be well represented, and Hawke’s Bay, which has started an amateur cycling club, will also take part. Arrangements have been made for three feeding stations for competitors. They will be at Levin, Otaki, and Paraparauimi.
