Otago Championship Cycling

Event

Although conditions were bright, a strong north-west wind detracted from the general pleasure of the twenty-second annual sports meeting of the Awamoko Athletic Club on Saturday. There was a large crowd in attendance, and many of the events provided close finishes. The programme included an exceptionally large number of cycling events, E. R. Wallace, of Timaru, completing the double by winning the Two-mile J. D. McLeod Memorial Handicap, and the Otago One Mile and a-half Championship.
