CASH ATHLETICS
EA3T EVENING’S MEET INCREASED ATTENDANCES lady CYCLISTS IMPROVING Oil the Victoria Domain last evening, the Poverty Bay Professional Athletic and Cycling Club conducted another of its popular weekly meetings, the attendance constituting a record and the competitions being oi a most interesting character. A feature of the meeting was the improvement shown by lady cyclists, whose efforts were once looked on as light entertainment rather than as serious competitive work.

Two competitors in the men s cycle racing, E. Jeffs and F. Wells, suffered slight injuries through coming m o-rief on the cinder track, and both were considered lucky to escape with minor abrasions after their spectacular falls.
