An unexpected accession to the strength of the fields in the cycling events at the Temuka sports yester day was received by the arrival of ten or a dozen wheelmen from Waimate. It was decided to accept late entries for these riders, and extra heats were arranged for them in the open races. The late-comers included P. O’Shea, J. Bearman, C Flanagan, W. Willmott, H. Burnand, H. W. Birch, R. Chamberlain, F. Warn, D. Underwood, and one or two others. Their presence necessitated a good deal of post handicapping and several of the men had to start from behind the scratch mark. With the exception of Underwood and Willmott, none of the new men met with much success. O'Shea had not fully recovered from the accident he met with at Ashburton a couple of months ago, and was plainly troubled by his weak shoulder.
