SCHOOLS’ SPORTS

Country Children Gathering at St. Andrews In perfect weather a combined schools sports, in which over 300 children took part, were held on Thursday, in the St. Andrew’s Domain, which, with its fine trees and amusement facilities, proved to be an idea! ground for the meeting. The warm weather induced a large 1 number of parents to make the occa- ' sion a picnic day and to stimulate the I friendly sporting rivalry which exists I during the day. During the day a show and exhibition of agricultural club work was held, and the high standard of the exhibits, especially the flowers, considering the adverse weather conditions, reflected l great credit on the children who no i doubt gave much attention and care Ito their plants. This section was in | charge of the Schools’ Agricultural l Instructor (Mr R. B. Steele), who was I very favourably impressed with the fine quality’ of the potatoes. The following schools participated, the abbreviations after each representing that school in the programme below: Hook (H). Teschmakers (Tesch.), Blue Cliffs (8.C.), Esk Valley i (E.V.), Otaio <O).
