HAWERA ATHLETIC SPORTS

SUCCESSFUL NIGHT MEETING. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES. I The very successful electric light sports meeting held at Hawera last evening under the auspices of the Hawera Amateur Athletic Club reflected great credit on the responsible officials. The attendance, which was estimated at 500, was rather less than at previous gatherings. . The performances were of a very high order, despite the fact that the track was heavy. The outstanding performance was L. A. Newall’s high jump of sft. s Jin. from scratch, which was only half an inch outside ,his own centre record established three years ago. The same athlete won his heat in the 120 yards hurdles from scratch in 16 3-5 sec., jumping high hurdles. The most consistent sprinter at the meeting was M. Prince, Eltham, who won first place in the 100 and second in the 220 and 440 yards. The mile run was won by 11. K. Johnston from 65yds in 4min. 30J sec., a very meritorious performance. Although D. Wills’ finishing time (7min. 12 4-ssec.) in the mile walk did not break his own record of 7min.* 6sec., it was very creditable. Re covered the first half-mile in 3min. ssec., but his third, lap was slow and affected his time. Ifi the final cycle event H. J. C. Kelsen, riding alone from scratch, found his handicap too much. In the field events L. Hunt’s shot putt ,of 34ft. 2in. was j outstanding. Results are:— 120 yards hurdles.—First heat: L. A.
