BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS.

Fine watlW,. though unsettled, favoured the annual a-thMi.? .-ports meeting hold m connection with the Boys' Hiffh hchool at Lancaster Turk y«'et«rday. In the niorninjr the attendance was confined chiefly to officials and competitors, but in the afternoon there was a large attendance of Varont.-i and friends. The keenest interest waa shown in the different events, which were well contested. The ground was in fairly srood order, but rather heavy from the recent rains. In th* jumping events the competitors were assisted "o some ex-t"iit-by thy wind, but. this advantage was counterbalanced by the heaviness of the pround. Several light- showers fell during the morning, but did .not interfere with tlio sports. At the conclusion of the sport* th<i headmaster, Mr C. E. Bevan-Brown, in the course of a brief address, said that the pri'.-ent. occasion was the twentieth upon which lie had had the pleasure of taking part, iv the Boys' High School sporty, and during lhat" period he only remein<irerl mis >ports day mi which the weather had hi'pii unfavourable. The sports this year had been distinguished by the very lai-ge and satisfactory entries and by the fact that three records had be«.n broken.(.'■onsidvring the unfavourable conditions under which the boys had competed, he thought they were to be congratulated on bnaking th« previous records in the long jump (open), long jump (under fourteen v«.';<rs of age) and the 440 yards (under fourU-esi years of age). In other events th<> tiiiKw* recorded were dose to those rectinkfi at previous sports. He hoped the inter-form relay nice would be repeated at future gatherings, and he called special attention to tihe fact that the prize for the 440 yards hurdles hail been presented by old boys at Canterbury College. He announced that the points for the Senior Challenge Cup (presented by Mr W. Mont"omerv, and won lafit year by J. W.Mason) wew:—C. E. Woh'dgo, 23; G. A. Drake, 16: T. E. Curnc. 10.
