Heighley, W. C. Richards, and B. Graham, were, by a close margin, second to Sefton Harriers out of seven competing teams.
It was a popular race. There was a largely attended meeting on Tuesday. The results of the 80 yards sprints were:-1st, B. Graham; 2nd, E. W. Moxey. The mile scratch race was won easily by W. C. Richards, the second man being J. H. Everett. Mr. W. S. Brookes handicapped and judged the races, while Messrs. R. G. Hyde and W. C. Richards were starters.
