Several of the competitions could not but present an amusing side. These were the crocodile and three-legged races, a sack rate, a potato race, and an egg .and spoon race, all of which provided amusement to spectators and competitors alike, and it is just difficult to say whether those watching or those competing enjoyed them most. In a more serious direction there were a number of running, walking, and jumping events, ail of which were keenly contested, and also net-ball throwing and hockey ball striking. Tor the girls it was particularly good and happy afternoon s outing, and provided an abundance of healthy recreation and exercise of a suitab.e character.
