The ground was heavy, and the sprint events were run agiiihst a fresh north-easterly breeze, while Intermittent rain during the early plaitt of the afternoon made the conditions even more unpleasant. The senior cup, for which there were; fottr entries, was won by H„ Velnt, with a total of 23 points. He is a good allrotlnder and besides winning both sprints anij coming second in the 440 Yards and Half-mile, he gained third place in the

long and high jumps and won the Shot Putt. J. Scanlan was second, with 16 points, and J, O’NelU was third.
