It was unfortunate from all points of view that it was found necessary to postpone the Boys' High School annual sports which were to have been held on Wednesday afternoon. The unwelcome decision was more or less forced upon the school authorities by the soggincss of the ground after the heavy rains of Monday and Tuesday, Yesterday, however, proved all that could bo desired climatically and the sports were accordingly carried on with, the heats being got off in the morning so that the finalists alone would be on the track in the afternoon. Owing to Wednesday's postponomenfy there was not the large crowd of visitors present which usually graces the high school grounds on the occasion of the boys' sports meeting, but, nevertheless, quite a number of parents, old boys and friends were looking on during the afternoon. All arrangements for the entertainment of the visitors were thrown out of gear by the postponement, but, despite this, a splendid afternoon's athletics was witnessed. ,

120 yards Hurdles, open handicap— D. Woodley, owe 6,1; E. 8011, owe 7, 2; B. M'Corkindale, owe, 3, 3. Time, 20 1-5 secs. ,

Quite a number of good times were put up but, on the whole, the heaviness of the track militated against recordbreaking. In spite of tins, J, Rose, of hho Albion Club, succeeded in disposing of the 220 yards records, and equalling the time for the 120 yards hurdles. L. Seymour put up the most outstanding performance of the day when ho jumped the splendid distance of 19ft. lliin. in the long jump, breaking the previous distance by 5J inches. Some very close and exciting finishes were witnessed, and at the conclusion of the sports, tho prize-cards were presented to the winners by Mrs. W. R. Birnio, who also capped the first fifteen of the school, there being eight new members to receive the coveted honor. After the presentation of prizes, tho rector, Mr. J. Murray, called for three cheers for Mrs. Bifnic, Mr. G. L. Bennett who had donated the caps to tho first fifteen, and all others who had helped to make the afternoon’such a pronounced success.
