OHAI

ATHLETIC SOCIETY EVENING SPORTS The Ohai Athletic Society held the most successful of its series of evening sports, when a big crowd was present. The weather for the event was perfect. The society on all previous occasions was unfortunate in this respect. An attractive programme of running and cycling events was conducted, interspersed with bouts of “all-in” wrestling which proved most popular. A willing band of officials headed by Mr James Mair, president, capably handled a big programme. Following are the results of the events: — CHILDREN’S RACES Boys and girls (under 5). —B. Wills 1, G.
