HIGH SOHOOL SPORTS.

A fairly large number of people assembled at the Carisbrook ground on Saturday afternoon to witness the annual sports held in connection with the Ofcago High School. The weather was delightful, and tempted a number of ladies out to the ground to see the different events. The programme, which was a very long one, was got through very smartly, and the management are to be complimented on the rapidity with which they placed the events in the field. The handicapping was not so judicious as it might have been, but this is always a difficult matter to come afc correctly. During the afternoon the Ordnance Band (under the conductorship of ;Mr C. Coombs) played a number of selections which were well executed, and were duly appreciated by those present. The judges in connection with the sports were Messrs R. Mil!, C. W. Rattray, T. L. Austin, A. W. Morris, and E. H. Burn, while Mr A. Y. Smith acted as starter, Mr J. R. Montgomery as record-keeper, and Mr H. T. Fulton as timekeeper. Subjoined are the events with the results :—
