——

Albert Nicholson, the long dis-
tance runner, has this morning
accepted the challenge of Holm-
quist to run a ten mile race on
Dominion Day, July Ist, for the
benefit of the sport-loving people
of Prince Rupert. The only con-
dition he makes is that Sherman
who beat him in the three mile
contest on Empire Day will be-
come a competitor.

Dave Watson who has competed
in several races, and has made a
good showing at the ten mile
distance has also announced his
willingness to start in the race.

Nicholson left for up-river this
morning after announcing his wil-
lingness to run. But he will be
back in ample time to get in form
for the race. He large

ing from silver cups to suites of

on the track. His best races were

street pointed out that he was
working at laborious work from
seven in the morning until seven
in the evening, and therefore could
not do justice to himself go into
the rigorous training that a ten
mile race would require. “If
it were a three mile or even a
five mile, I might consider it, but
it is impossible for me at this
busy season of the year, on top
of imy hard daily work to make
any binding promise to run ten
miles, "he said.

“As a matter of fact,” he added,

there was a little dispute about
the previous contest, which I
wanted to clear up,” he added.

Will Offer a Prize

The Secretary of the Scandi-
navian Society, has authorised a
statement that their society is
willing to offer a substantial prize
in conjunction with the sports
committee for a ten mile race or
a Marathon race on Dominion
Day. This offer will almost cer-
tainly be accepted by the sports
committee for the Dominion Day
celebration.

In addition to the runners al-
