The weather was not propitious, a light drizzle falling all the time. The j sports were of a 'high-class order, and I the events were got off in good time, ,no long waits being experienced. Mr. J. Gibbs gave entire satisfaction as starter, and Messrs. Curtis and James | as judges fulfilled their duties in a most j efficient manner. The lighting arrangements were better than those of either I Stratford or New Plymouth clubs, and,j considering that they wore only fixed up for the occasion and are not per-' manent, reflect great credit on the club.
