HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

FINE ATHLETIC EXHIBITION. The Otago Boys' High School annual athletic sports were held on theCarisbrook Ground on Saturday, commencing shortly after 1 o'clock. The weather was very pleasant. A lengthy programme of events was participated in by a large number of the pupils, and it was evident from the form shown by not a few of the competitors that they will probably be heard of on the athletic field in ooming years. Treahy put up a good performance in polo jumping; Lookhart broko the school record in the long jump, and ■ Glasse is one of the most promising runners the school has produced for some years. The ground was not in the best of condition, or the boys might have done even better than they did. The. tug-of-war was., an interesting event. Hie pull imposes a severe strain on the boys, but its safeguard ■ is the time limit of three minutes. The Hector (Mr W. J. ' Morrell) and the masters of the school were present, together with a large number, of the parents, some of the old boys, and a host of present pupils, the last-named following the fortunes of their class-mates in the various events with. the keenest interest. it was noteworthy that two events for old boys had to be dropped- out of the programme, not on account of any lack of interest in the school by former pupils, but by reason of the fact taht many old boys have gone away to fight the battles of. th© Empire. 'Altogether, the programme of Sports Was very erijoya.ble. The handicapping produced many close contests. The Caversham Band provided excellent music during the afternoon. The- management committee deserves a. word, of praise for its decision to devote the whole of the takings—gate, afternoon tea. and other sources—to patriotic objects. We are indebted to two of the senior pupils! (G. M. Moir and W. P. • Morrell) ■ for information courteously furnished to our representative. The following are the results:— HIGH JUMP (Open).—J. A.
