THE HANDICAPS DECLARED

The go-as-you-please race, to he run from AYaerenga-a-hika to Makauri and back on Saturday next, is being anticipated with great interest in athletic circles and it will not be a matter for surprise if the sporting fraternity of Gisborne is liberally represented at the novel event. So far as the countryside goes it is being eagerly looked forward to and, if it is accepted that training counts for anything in athletics, some fine racing is certain to ho witnessed. Cross-country racing is a form of sport verv popular in some parts of New Zealand,'particularly where harrier clubs are in existence and the covering of any such, long distance is generally recognised as a thorough test of endurance. It is not necessarily the finest runner that wins, but the man with the mettle, well-trained, and with plenty of lung-force behind him. The distance is seven miles and a start will he made from the AA ae-renga-a-hika Hotel at 3 p.m. sharp. A substantial side-wager, between two competitors, AAhakarau and Fitzsimmons, is arousing, some interest, each one of that pair being certain that he can steer himself to victory. THE HANDICAPS.
