Boot's 880 was thus a better effort than even the superb time of 1 min. 54 4-5 secs. represents. Team work, inthis race, was, as usual a feature of Canterbury's performance. The high average ability of the Canterbury men was remarkable and had its reward in the new relay record. Carmichael, previously considered just a good sprinter has now graduated into the record-breaking class. Anderson's hurdling at Tournaments has been notable for its consitently high level. This year was no exception-a very fine performance. Blake had it all his own way in the pole vault, despite a good effort by the versatile Vosailagi. Canterbury's success in field events of recent years is peculiar. Perhaps excellent facilities and the absence of an active cricket club at C.U.C. are responsible.

The palm for the gamest run of the meeting must go to Watt. Preparation: A few before-breakfast canters round the deck of the "Kitano Maru" plus a bare three weeks' training. Result: Second fastest time in the history of the race. How's that for natural ability? Well run, Jimmy.
