Monday's Finals

Monday's Finals.

The first race on Monday was the 100 yards, and a classic it was. East-wood and Adams got away from the gun with the former slightly in front. Running beautifully he increased his lend and won by two or three yards in 10 1-5secs. Adams had another couple of yards on Fountain (C.). Then cause the final of the 120 yards hurdles, mentioned above, and won by Irving. Things were definitely looking better for Victoria, although Otago had a huge lead. We could see ourselves losing that Wooden Spoon. In the Hop. Step and Jump O'Regan could not get the board and finished out of a place. The 880 yards was a triumph for the young A.U.C. runner. Nugent, who heat Nixon (O.), the title holder, [unclear: convincingly] in 1 min. 58 2-5secs.

J. S. Adams again raised Victoria's colours with a first in the javelin throw and a second in the high jump.

Dalzell and Terry in the shot put and not get a place hut preformed consistently. It was unfortunate that they were up against competitors of the class of J. L. Adams (Otago).
