SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS. - EVENTS AT KOSCIUSKO. City and Country Competitors.

FROM OUR SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE. - MT. KOSCIUSKO, Tuesday.

The Australian ski championship meeting was held on the Perisher Range, Mt Kosciusko, during the week-end Although snow conditions were not good around the usual course, the downhill slalom and jump events were decided on good courses, set by F. Picifer, of Austria.

The open championship events were held in conjunction with the amateur. Most of the competitors came from Sydney by car, and a strong contingent represented Kiandra

The downhill was the first event held. The course had a drop of 6OO feet in half a mile G. Doran, of Kiandra, won from L Yan and J. Pattlnson, also of Kiandra. Pattinson represented Australia against New Zealand and America last year. Doran, who is postmaster at Kiandra, has not raced for many years, and his success against younger men was meritorious.

The open downhill, held on the same course, was" won by F. Pfeifer, of Austria, In 28.8s averaging 50 m.p.h., with Doran second, and Yan third. The slalom course set by Pfeifer was a good test of skill, and the event was won by George Day, with J. Pattlinson second, and R. Dowling third. Day's fastest run of 43.2s, compared favourably with Pfelfer's run of 39.2s Pfeifer was twice a winner in the Al-berg-Kandahar, one of the chief events in Europe. The open slalom went to Pfeifer, with Day second, and Pattlnson third

DIFFICULT CONDITIONS.

The racing committee and officials experienced some difficulty in finding a suitable jumping hill; but eventually the jump was held. The outside and hill were good, but the Inner was very rough and bent. The Australian championship went to G. Day, with J. Pattlinson second. J. Metcalfe third, L Yan fourth, and W Mobbs fifth. Day's longest jump was 21 metres. The open jump was won by G. Lambie, with a Jump of 22 metres. Day and Pattinson filled the places.

Owing to the difficulty in finding a suitable course of eight miles or more, the Ianglauf was abandoned, as was the "open." The usual falls accompanying a meeting of this sort were experienced. Because of lack of entries, the women's events were cancelled; but Miss Patsy Finlayson competed in the men's event and skied splendidly

Results:

Australian championship downhill: G. Doran, 34.4s, 1; L. Yan, 38.2s, 2; J. Pattinson 43.8s, 3; E. Mcllree, 48.4s, 4; Miss P, Finlayson, 52.8s, 5; R. Adams, lm 9s, 6; W Mobbs, lm 16s, 7; D.

SNOW SPORTS. - Kiandra Pioneer Club. - KIANDRA, Monday.

The annual sports meeting of the Kiandra Pioneer Ski Club was held at the weekend. The Kiandra Club, which was formerly called the Kiandra Snow Shoe Club, is now 65 years old, and is probably the oldest ski club in the world.

W. Patrick, a veteran Kiandra ski-runner, who has not competed for several years, won both the orthodox down hill championship and the straight down hill race in the old Kiandra style for the Jeffries Cup.

Results: —

Jeffries Cup (straight down hill race): W. Patrick 1, J. Pattinson 2, G. Day 3. Championship Jump: W. Pattinson 1, J. Pattinson 2, W. Allen 3. Slalom: W. Pattinson 1, J. Pattinson 2, W. Patrick 3.

A NOVEL SPORTS MEETING. - SNOW-SHOE RACES AT KIANDRA. - KIANDRA, MONDAY.

Show-shoe races were held on Saturday. The heavy snow caused the snow to settle very firm. Two heavy frosts and a slight fall of snow maed a splendid course. The day was beautifully fine, and the fast course caused a great number of falls, the thin layers of snow flying in showers owing to the sudden contact with the powdery element. This aâhcrbd to the person, and the fantastic shap«h assumed in falling presented a scenoe which caused endless mirth. The terrific pace earned the riders, if they happened to fall on the shoes, past the winning-post, although tailing many yards in advance. The Chinese race, won by Ah Tat, was exceptional fun. Both ladies' races were won by Miss M. Yan, with Miss Pattinson and Miss Amy Pattinson seconds. The Champion Boys' Race ended with L. Pattinson, 1 , W. Thomas, 2. New Chum Raco II. Houghton, 1 , W. P. Bourke, 2.

Amateurs' Handicap Race F. Yan, ^ yards, 1 , Forester, scratch, 2. Champion Race W. Pattinson, 1 , T. Woisloman, 2. Tuno, 20 seconds, 2 seconds behind record time Weather permitting another meeting will be held next Saturday. A largo number of races were arranged for children from thr age of four. It is very dull and snowing. - (Ref- The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842-1954) Tuesday 7 August 1894).

SNOWSHOE RACE MEETING AT KIANDRA - KIANDRA, Tuesday.

The second snowshoe race meeting was held on Saturday last under anything but pleasant circumstances owing to a strong N.W. wind accompanied by snow storms and heavy drift. The course was in a very patchy condition. The Champion Race was again won by W. Pattinson, with W. Forrester second. Ball came a fearful cropper in front of the winning-post, turning four complete somersaults.

SNOWSHOE RACING - TWO DEGREES BELOW ZERO. - KIANDRA, Sunday. '

One of the most successful day's snow-shoe racing held at Kiandra for many years was brought to a successful issue on Saturday. A number of visitors were present, amongst them being Dr Pockley and party. Some interesting and highly amusing contests were witnessed.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENTS BY LIGHTNING. - (FROM THE OVENS CONSTITUTION.)

On Monday last, at 1 o'clock, an inquest was held in the new Court-house, at the Camp, in the presence of the uncovered deceased, touching the death of John Pateman, Donald Mackinnon Daniel Williams, and William Longdon. '

George Spires was sworn, and stated that the four deceased arrived from Sydney on Friday last, and started on Sunday, about 10 a.m., to see tho Four-mile Diggings, in company with himself and four others. When they got about three miles on their way, they were caught in a tre- mendous thunderstorm, which induced them to take to the timber. The four deceased crouched under one tree, and four men, of whom he was ono, under another. They had scarcely beon there _ two minutes when a fearful flash of lightning came, and he foil down insensible, in which Btate he remained about half an hour. On his recovery ho felt giddy, and went i ambling about tho bush in an unconscious state. One of his mates came up, and found bisfaco, arm, and hands blackened from the effects of lightning. He did not recognise the deceased at first. Ile carno into Kiandra shortly after for a doctor.

Job Johnson deposed that on Sunday last he went, in company with the four deceased and four others, towards the Four-mile. That about 10 o'clock there came on a tremendous storm, whioh induced them to make for tho timber. The four deceased got under one tree, whilst he stood 10 yards off. They had been under the tree only two or three minutes when there como a fearful flash of lightning, illuminating the wholo sky. He saw the four men who havo recovered fall down at once, but the deceased did not fall down. He soon after went np to them, hut only saw ono dead, and fancied that one who has since recovered was also dead. Ho and ono who was least hurt went to the Four-mile for assist- ance. He then came back to his tent, and sent another of his mates to the camp, to inform the police of the occurrence. Dr. Biqkards proved that,'after a post-mortim. examination, ho found the appearance of the brain of the man who was lying nearest tho tree was that usually found in cases of death by light- ning, and that his opinion.waa that such was the cause of his death.

The jury, without any hesitation, gave a vordiot that the four deceased came by their deaths from the effects of a stroke of lightening

We have gleaned the following particulors respecting the unfortunate deceased. Pateman came from the Clarence Biver, where he is reported to have some property; Longdon has land at Christchurch, New Zealand, and his father resides at Watnall, Nottinghamshire, England. He had only just arrived in the colony. Williams also carno from New Zealand, in company with Longdon ; ho had a considerable sum of money on lum in the shape of a bill of exchange. Mao kinnon carno from Port Napier, New Zealand where he and a mate of his, at present in that colony, have about 400 sheep depasturing on terms. - (Ref- The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1956) Monday 1 October 1860).
