Right up to the last event Seelye s team was leading easily, there having been some keen tussles in the wheelbarrow and three-legged races, much to the amusement of the onlookers. Jardine’s team; who were then running a close second, managed to outrun the rest of the field, however, and beat Seelye’s team by four points. The winning team was: Jardine, Gibbons, Stewart, Wainwright, Teuton; Tomlinson, and R. Morris. Next Saturday’s run, the final one for attendance purposes, will be held at Wadestown. Methodist Club .
