" j , Tho weather for the Dunedin Amateur Athletic Club's twertieth annual meeting, held ,at the Caledonian Ground on Saturday afternoon was perfect from a spectator's point of view, though a fresh north-easterly breeze was no doubt 'detrimental to the establishing of very fast times in some, of the events. Tho fino weather, however, did not attract a great ooncourse to the meeting, the-attendance being from 1500 to 2000 at most. Those present witnessed a capital afternoon's racing and some fine finishes were seen, especially in tho running events, the handicapping in these being exceedingly well judged. In tho principal race of the day, the 220 yds Championship of .Otago and Southland,• Hartland of Christchurcii and Fraser of North Otago divided the honours after a great race, and other visiting runners —Gunn of Timaru'-and Dimsey of Ashburton—acquitted themselves with' more than credit for the events for which they were entered. In tho Mile Flat Handicap G. Burl; put up a fine performance, beating standard time, and Gunn also ran a fine race in this event. Burl: earned a very hearty round of applause for achieving what looked like an impossible task in the last lap. The cycling events wero interesting, rendered the more so by the presence of the Arust Brothers. Everything considered, the meeting may be said to have been a highly successful one. and the officials concerned, who all worked hard to that, end, deserve oredit for excellent management. Betting, one is informed, was the "reason whj' two or tlire clamorous individuals found themselves ordered off the ground. Punctuality was an order of the day, and the long programme of events was through shortly after 5 o'clock. Mr Marryatt. Ihe press steward, was an official of indispensable value in that capacity. The Mornington Brass Band played enjoyable selection during | the afternoon:— Results of the racing are as follotra:— 120 YARDS PUT MAIDEN. Prizes: Trophies, fl 5s and 10s.
