the Peace Shield and South Makirikiri, Rata, Tokorangi, Putorino, Porewa, Greatford, Mount View, Upper Tutaenui and Western Rangitikei for the Morris Shield. The attendance of parand the general public in the past has been very disappointing and considering the time devoted by the teachers and the training undertaken by the competitors, their efforts are worthy of a litle more interest being taken in these contests. The expeditious manner in which the numerous events are run off is a credit to the association, but they would like the general public to take more interest in their children’s pastimes. The admission is sixpence for adults and threepence for children, and refreshments and afternoon tea are obtainable on the ground.
