CALEDONIAN SPORTS.

The attendance improved in the afternoon at the annual sports gathering of the Mannwatu and West Coast Caledonian Society yesterday, but the keen wind which blew across the ground made matters most unpleasant, especially for the dancers, of whom there were representatives from as far south as Mataura, from which place the muchbemedalled Miss May Thorn hails, and she again added to her laurels.
