7Hi3 MORNiNG'S RESULTS Though the anunal athletic meet of tlio (Jingo Boys’ High School commenced nt Carishrook this morning in threatening weather, the elements proved kind, and by noon the skies had cleared, giving prospects of a line afternoon. The tracks, however, wore on the soft side, and militated against the breaking of records, a fresh breeze also affecting the runners in the shorter distances. Nevertheless, some very fair performances were registered during the morning. In every event large-sized fields faced the starter (Mr J. P. Northoy), and in one event, the open mile handicap, there were seventy-four .starters, the race being won by W. Masters (ICOyds), who finished fast to win in 4min JSsec, time which gave the scratch man, G. To Strang, no chance. Taken all round, the times in the handicap events were quite good in view of the heavy state of the track._ Several junior and scnioi championship events wore decided, and at tin; adjournment both divisions looked to bo very open. 11. G. Jolly hold a close lead over H. L.
