Each competitor was given two starts, and the results were to be worked out on a s formula, the size of the engine, the total ■weight _ of rider and machine, and 'the': competitors’ time being taken into r cob- ' ’ v® sideratipn. As the two first-named items J were available before the climb took' place the results should have been available within a few minutes of the completion of the event. % | This is Tuesday evening, and so far I have not seen the result of the com- .Jj petition in any of the daily nepers, norrhavo 1 been able to find out who won the || different events. What is the matter with ' the Otago Motor dub officials when the- r results are not published, oven after three, 'Qj days have elapsed? I can quite understood ■; S that in a reliability test the remUts bo delayed until various check sheets to hand, but where the figures are avail-, able o*i the spot and require only calculation, surely it is reasonable pect the results to be published in MondaTfsvri SI Daily Times. —I am .etc., A' Oteamwifc,;^^||
