BROADSIDING.

Kilmister to Race Against Blacklock. Broadsiding will be continued at Monica Park Speedway to-morrow night with a programme that should prove even more successful than that for the opening meeting. Wally Kilmister and Charlie Blacklock will meet in a match race series. With the track in faster condition and the machines benefited by the experiences of a night’s racing, the three heats should be keenly contested. Norm Grav, Jack Hobson, Percy Dunn, George Farmer and Reg Kan by will be but a few of the local brigade who will contest the many races. George Farmer who showed great promise throughout last season and on Saturday last, is to be matched with Percy Lunii an old favourite of speedway fans. It should be Tine usual firsthand second division handicaps will be ‘•included in the programme, and the ever-thrilling scratch race. Broadsiding is deservedly popular with Christchurch folk for it provides an ideal summer entertainment in the open air. As a sport it has few equals, and as a source of excitement none. The broadside is appreciated by all who see it and at the same time is one of the most inexplicable operations ever performed by man and machine. The element of skill is so highlv developed that the art of " shifting cinders ” is a conmostl hardened fan.^ 0111 *" ° Special arrangements are made tor parking cars in the speedway grounds.
