At the last championship meeting, held at Wanganui, the special correspondent of the Canterbury Times says a New Zealand professional watched Wilson very closely all through the three miles, and said he failed to see how any good judge could find fault with his mode of progression. He also said Dickey, the other Auckland walker, who was disqualified on Saturday, had a nice easy style, and when he gets more pace, which will come to him m the course of a year or two, he would be a match for his clubmates, Wilson and Creamer.

Creamer did when he gave Wilson twenty yards in the last quarter of the mile walk last November twelve months, and put up the fust time of 6min 27sec.
