ONEPUHI SPORTS

From Our Own Correspondent. A pleasant outing was enjoyed by all who attended tho second annual sports meeting on the picturesque banks of tho Ouepuhi river yesterday. At the scheduled time fur the opening event, the crowd of spectators was not large, but towards noon, lines of cars were to be seen wending their .way across the field, and the total easily beat the attendance at the last meet-

ing. Competition in the racing events also showed to advantage over the figures of last year, and altogether the committee is to be congratulated on the success of its efforts. Occasional selections from the bagpipes lent an air of "aiety to the scene. Numerous races were "organised for the young folks and with ice creams and soft drink stalls nearby, managed to enjoy themselves thoroughly.
