CANVASTOWN.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

Monday,

The Pelorus Sports Committee met on Saturday night. Present: Messrs James Dalton (in the chair), McGuire, A. Simpson, W. Simpson, F. Mosen, C, Diamanti, and James Hughes, hon. secretary. The Committee paid accounts to the extent of £64 8s 9d, and then adjourned for a week. The trophy given by Mr McGuire for the winner of the barrel race was a very nicjß watch, and was won by Master H. Simpson. G. Wratt was first in the Pelorus Handicap with seven points, F. Johnston second with 5 points, and A. Dalton third with 4 points. The Committee expect to have a balance in hand of about £25 this year. They deserve congratulation for the way they worked to make the sports club strong and financial. Many thanks are due to several outside of the committee for their assistance. The Easter carnival spoken of at the last meeting will be settled tonight, when programmes are to be ■submitted.
