ATHLETICS.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY SPORTS. Despite a light rain that fell at intervals yesterday afternoon, tbe St. Patrick's Day sports at the Domain were carried throng* successfully, the only events excluded being the dancing. The rain, though slight, rendered tbe dancing platform co slippery that competitors could not keep their feet, consequently the dancing items were postponed, to be held some evening in the Hibernian Hall. A feature of the afternoon were the special displays of scarf, wand, maxe, dumbbell, rlnb and chase ball drill by the teams from the several boys and girls' schoolß, with a final grand tableau of the formation of a living harp in the centre of the ground by the 700 children of the echoolH. It was n very fine picture, that evoked an ovation. The rettnlts of the sports not included in yesterday's "Star" are:— Sa.-red Heart College Handicap, 100 yds.— Final: K. Duggan, 2yds, 1; O.
