HAROLD PLIMMER, OF WELLINGTON, WHO WAS KILLED AT THE MOTOR CYCLE SPORTS AT AWAPUNI ON JANUARY 22. The unfortunate motor cyclist was competing in the five-mile handicap, and appeared to lose control of his machine, for it suddenly swerved and collided with the inner rail round the course. A collision with another competitor was inevitable, the latter’s machine going over Plimmer’s legs, and so severely was he knocked about that he succumbed to his injuries.
