JUNIOR RECORD BROKEN. BBADBURY 'WINS CHAMPIONSHIP. The seventeenth annual sports meeting, or the Sacred Heart College was held yesterday afternoon on the Domain. The weatner conditions were all that could be desired, and the large attendance of friends of the College and other enthusiasts present enjoyed a meeting which proceeded throughout without a hitch. The track being i a good condition for so early in the season afforded the lads an excellent opportunity to make good times. The senior championship was won by Bradbury with 48 points, who was a very prominent competitor in all the senior events. A feature of the programme, however, was the outstanding performance made by a junior lad named who carried off the majority of the junior events. McCarthy won the junior championship last year, but owing to the athletic rules of the school, although still under the senior age, he wag not permitted to enter for the championship again this year.
