SKI CHAMPIONSHIP.

Further Results of Aorangi Meeting. (Special to the “Star.”) THE HERMITAGE, August 25. There was a foot of newly fallen snow well covering all the rocks when the Aorangi ski championship meeting was continued in brilliant weather today. Conditions caused the postponement of the downhill championship race, which is to be run from the Ball Pass to the glacier below. To-day the running was done on the slope below the hut, and when the snow was hardened the track became a fast one. With reasonable weather conditions it should be excellent for the New Zealand championship meeting on Tuesday. Xnter-Club Relay. The inter-club relay provided a great race. The arrangements were good and the six teams competing put on a fast

and spectacular contest. The clubs racing were the Tasman, Christchurch, Otago, Aorangi and WindwhistleT' Ski Clubs and the Canterbury Winter Sports Club.
