Mile Walk Handicap.

J. M. Hogben, scr. 1.

Also covered the distance—D. S. Smith, 60yds.; A. MacDougall, 120yds.; and P. Stocker, 250yds.

This was—as usual the piece de resistance of the afternoon. The competitors finished in the following order: Smith, MacDougall, Stocker, with Hogben last, but the judge disqualified Smith and MacDougall for failing to lock, and Stock for lifting. Stocker's Chinese method of progression received the spectator's approval, while MacDougall, upon whom Mason's mantle had fallen, finished with the requisite smile. Hogben walked well.
