WHEEL TALK.
(By ROVER.) Mr E. H. James, New Zealand manager of the Dunlop Tyre Company, returned to Christchurch from his recent trip to Melbourne last Saturday. G. Sutherland and A. Huston-have already commenced training at Lancaster Park. Considering the wintry weather that has been prevalent recently, their action shows a thorough . determination to become fit when the Season opens. I hear on -pretty gowd aduiority that Mr F. D. Kesteven, who for seven years has acted as secretary of the New Zealand League, contemplates resigning at an early date. Mr Kesteven finds the position.unduly interferes with the growing; demands of his private business. y' m ' The idea of the promoters of the Warrnambool to Melbourne race, in endeavouring to ensure that the best- men in each division should secure a prize, was an admirable one, but it 'does hot seem to have worked perfectly. Doyle, after gaining a sixth prize of £2 2s, was able to annea: two more special prizes. Putting £20 as the value of a bicycle, he won £27 7s, while R. Arnst, who rode grandly from scratch and took second fastest time, only received £33s -' .'■■ ':"■'' ** i * Amongst competitors who refused) tc start in, the Warrnambool-Melbourne race on account of tihe unfavourable state of the roads, was A. Jewell, the Western Australian representative.
