Scrymgeour Takes Lead.

At the top of the first rise on the second lap Scrymgeour took the lead and on reaching the road, quickly drew away from Kofoed. Along the railway his easy bouncing stride carried him still further ahead and he reached the racecourse with a commanding lead. Kofoed was unable to make up any leeway and Scrymgeour won by 120 yards in 37 mins, 40 secs.

There was a stirring battle for third place, Adamson just falling to catch Ford of Otago. Anderson of Otago and Taylor of Canterbury won the two remaining N.Z.U. Blues.
