ATHLETICS.
Capital nominations have been received for the spring meeting of the A.A.A. and C. Club, the cycle events having filled especially well. Given fine weather on the 24th inst. a most successful gathering is assured. Both Smith and Rosingrave are reported to be doing splendidly in their training, and by the 24th they ought to be very fit.
Stanley Rowley, the crack Australian sprinter, who has just returned from England, intimates that he will probably give up running. This is a great pity, as first-class sprinters are few and far between in the colonies just now. , It is probable that J. Burton, Queensland’s craek sprint runner, will visit this colony for the championship, meeting next year. He is very fast, and in the absence of Rowley should have a great chance in the short distances.
