Hi I am trying to find an article about an athletics event held ion Kapunda on 18 September 1872. I have looked at nla newspapers on-line which the South Australian Advertiser of 18th September mentions the event is to occur, but I cannot find any articles after the event. The athletic program was arranged by Albert Edward Bird, my great grandfather, who was to run 11 miles in under an hour, as the main attraction of the day. Any assistance would be appreciated. regards John Bird

Hi Listers, I will be sending the Info on Albert Edward Bird's run. Kind regards, Judy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Bird" <johnkb13@hotmail.com> To: <aus-sagen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 6:01 PM Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] Albert Bird and Kapunda > > Hi I am trying to find an article about an athletics event held ion > Kapunda on 18 September 1872.
