BERWICK SPORTS
Hie forty-first annual sports meeting was held at Berwick on New Tear's Day. The gathering proved a great success, both financially and. from a sporting point of view. The events were keenly contested, and some olose and exciting finishes were ' witnessed, which spoke well for the handi- ' oapping of the various races. Members ' of the Pipe Band supplied musio that lightened the hearts of the old Highlandmen of the district. 4 The president (Mr t D. M'Pherson), the secretary (Mr 0. Robinson), and the committee deserve credit i for. the manner in which they worked and i kept the events up to time, and also for ' their attention to the visitors. The a-nrnml ball was held in the evening, and was a thorough success. About 90 couples took part in the grand march. Messrs G. Lyall and F. Heenan carried out the duties of M.C.'s to perfection. Dancing finished about S o'clock, when cheers were given for the society.
