TOKO ANNUAL SPORTS

TARANAKI ATHLETES COMPETE

SUCCESS OF ANNUAL MEETING. The Toko Sports Association was fortunate yesterday, at its annual meeting at the Toko domain. After the stormy day and night of Wednesday, the weather cleared and the sun shone brightly. The attendance was larger than that of the previous year Despite the heavy rain, the track dried up early and was in excellent order even for the first event. The banked track upheld its reputation as one of the best in Taranaki. Over 70 of the best athletes in the province had nominated for the events. There were very few easy wins, a tribute to the handicappers, Messrs J. A. Hansen (professional) and L. H. Clapham (amateur). The officials were: —Patron, Mr. E. Walter; president, Mr. J. B. Hine; chairman, Mr. T. Needham; handicapper, Mr. A. J. Hansen; handicapper (local events), Mr. J. Kilpatrick; (amateur events), Mr. H. L. Clapham; starter, Mr. A. J. Griffiths; marksman, Mr. L.

KING’S THEATRE, STRATFORD. Aggie and Micky Brantford, who apj pear in ‘'Second to None,” a Britannia Films Production, come of a theatrical family. Their parents were both on the I stage in musical comedy and have also ! appeared in British film productions. Ag- | gie and Micky started film work when they were three, and later appeared i with Albert, their brother, in Rex Ingram’s “Mare Nostrum.” The British proj duction, “Second to None,” a romance i of the Navy, is excellent entertainment, and is also a completely accurate and inspiring film of life in the Silent Service, based on stories by the naval ! writer “Bartimeua.” Micky Brantford portrays the hero in youth, and Aggie, the heroine, before she gets into long ' frocks. Many -people will think that these two “juveniles” make the personal » ‘'hits” of the film.
