With a spirit of optimism, a credit balance of six shillings, and the possibility of losing twenty-five pounds, the Athletic Club undertook its second Sports Meeting. The Meeting was held on the Basin Reserve, a charge was made for admittance, and programmes were printed. The customary good fortune which seems to be showered on the risky speculations of any Victoria College institution, did not desert the Athletic Club, and it came out of the Meeting with a greater credit balance and a more optimistic spirit than ever.

There was an attendance of about six hundred and the weather was all that could be desired. The racing was good throughout the Meeting, more particularly in the sprints, in which events the over-training which had been indulged in by competitors was less evident. One good result of the Meeting was that it induced many, whose capabilities would otherwise have remained an unknown quantity, to go into training for the Tournament. Several new students who competed showed considerable promise, and should find their way into the Tournament team next year: notable F. A. de la Mare (late of Boys High School, Christchurch) who gained first placed in all the events in which he competed.

The programme included three open events and events for St. Patrick's College and Public School Boys. The Challenge Cup presented to the Club by M. H. Oram was won by G. V. Bogle with 10½ points, O. J. Reid with 8 points being second.

The following are the results of the various events:—
