GREY TECHNICAL SCHOOL

ANNUAL SPORTS.

After being postponed on Wednesday on account of the unfavourable weather, the annual sports of the Greymouth Technical High School were held yesterday, on the Recreation Ground, in fine, but cold weatnei. The meeting was capably conducted by the teachers, and only a few events in the lengthy programme remain to be decided. These, with the exception of the cross-country iun ' for boys, will be run off on Monday, the cross-country event being decided later in the yeatr. Conditions were fairly favourable for athletics, and several new records were established. In the senior girls’ ’championship, M. Cornish has a comfortable lead, and L. Bruhn leads in the junior girls’ championship, ip both of which events remain to be decided. H. Gilmore has a good lead in the junior boys’ championship, but a close finish is in prospect in the senior hoys championship, F. Denton and C. Hector being level with 13 points each, with three events to go. E. Kibble, last year’s senior champion, has 12 points, but he is apparently not competing for the championship, as he entered in only four events, all of which he won, setting new records in two of them. The officials were:—Judges of running and jumping, Messrs R. McLaren, R. P. Kania, W. B. Hutton, W. A. Judkins, L. Francis; judges of girls’. events: Mrs A. C. yi Dickson, Misses • M.- Gardher, M.
