First Inter-Club Race.

The were 14 'Varsity Club members in the field of 188 runners for the Dorne Cup, held at Lower Hutt over a two-lap course of 5 miles. D. R. Scrimgeour, finishing 8th, was our first man home, all the others being well back. Seventh was our position in the teams' race.

The lesson taught by the race is that all Club members must train harder. The adoption of two training nights a week is wise, and we should fare better in the race for the Vosseler Shield in a fortnight's time.

Farquhar Wins Sherwood Cup.

Run this year at Paekakarlki, from the home of Mr. G. C. Sherwood, the race was over a 3-mile course rendered slippery and treacherous by heavy rain. No fewer than 25 fences had to be negotiated besides an awk ward water jump. All fifteen runners got away well, but were strung out by the time the main road was reached. W. A. Robertshawe and F. D. O'Flynn were second and third respectively, the deduction of handicaps having disclosed G. S. Farquhar as the winner.
