MAIN SCHOOL.

ANNUAL SPORTS. The pupils of the Tirnaru Main School spent a most enjoyable afternoon on Saturday in the school grounds, when they held their annual athletio sports. The weather was ideal for the occasion, and there was a fair attendance of parents and friends, who took a keen interest in all the events. The enthusiasm of the-pupils was very marked, every event drawing large fields; so large that in many, instances heats had to be run. The sports, which commenced at 2 o!clock, did not conclude until 5.30, and members of the staff and the school committee were kept busy throughout tlio whole of the afternoon. During a short interval, opportunity was taken by Mr G. J. Sea-ley, on behalf of the Tirnaru Floral and Horticultural Society to present the Hurdlcy Shield, which was won by the school in the recent cottage garden competition conducted by the Society. . Mr T. Hughes (ex-chairman of the Canterbury Education Board) also 6poke, congratulating the school on its success. He also referred in complimentary terms to the work done by Mr H. Oram at the school,’add also ta the success achieved by, Mr Ridley (Agricultural Instructor) throughout the district. Mr Hughes then presented the swimming prizes won during the year.
