SCHOOL SPORTS. A GOOD JUMP. (UY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) HASTINGS, Oct. 15. A the High School sports yesterday, P. Graham, in the long jump, jumped 19ft Uin, beating his previous school record of 18ft, lOin of a few days ago. This is believed to be a Dominion secondary school record.
[Nineteen feet eleven is very far from being a secondary school, record for New Zealand. There are any number of schools whose long jump record is over 20 feet, that of the Southland Boys’ High Schbol, for example, being 22 feet, which leap stands to the credit of J. N. Millard, now a master at Wellington College.]
