SANDON SPORTS CLUB

LARGE CROWD PRESENT. KEEN COMPETITION. Fine weather, good grounds and efficient management made for a most interesting day for the large number of persons who attended the Sandon Sports Club’s fixture on Saturday, the schools events being run through in excellent time and good competition being witnessed in a large number of the races. With three inter-school competitions, open nthletic events for both men and women, Highland dancing and a number of other attractions, the programme held interest for all to the end; the attendance was of gratifying dimensions. The ground had been well marked out and presented a neat appearance, although the continued dry weather had made it hard. From the commencement in the morning until well after 3 p.m. the races followed in a steady succession and much credit is due to all who worked capably to uphold the reputation, which the club has gained through many successful meetings, for co-operation between the various officials.

With large numbers of children on the ground and the stand comfortably filled, the use of a loud-speaker outfit aided the running of the sports to a considerable extent and kept the public informed of results and future events. Luncheon was obtainable on the grounds. A pleasing feature was the behaviour of the children, under their teachers and others in charge. Among the visitors were Hon. D. G. Sullivan (Minister of Railways and Industries and Commerce), Messrs C. L. Hunter, M.P., and L. G. Lowry, M.P., and I. W. Mudford, the member on the Wanganui Education Board representing the Sandon area. Sweet scrambles were held for the children and were entered into with enthusiasm. For motorists present an additional assurance of a carefree day was provided by the presence of a patrol officer from the Manawatu Automobile Association. THE WINNING TEAMS.

Mr Sullivan explained that he had been engaged with Messrs Hunter and Lowry in the Foxton district throughout the day, but Mr Hunter had persuaded him to visit the sports. They were sorry that they could not have attended earlier, but it was nice to have the opportunity of seeing the boys and girls from Sanson and the surrounding districts. Those interested in adult athletics should feel satisfied when they saw such good material coming on for the future. As Mayor of Christchurch for a good many years he had felt that the young people did not fully appreciate the great services rendered by the ladies and gentlemen who organised their sports meetings. Sport was regarded in some countries so highly that there was a special Min-

ister attending to its organisation, and in this country Hon. W. E. Parry, Minister of Internal Affairs, was trying to do the same tiling in encouraging the sports bodies. Tho speaker congratulated the Sports Club on the gathering. Mr Hunter added his congratulations to the officials of this sports meeting and those already passed, expressing the wish that next year tho gathering would be even better than that of this year.
