MAKIRIKIRI SPORTS
TO-DAY’S BIG EVENT A large crowd intends patronising the Makirikiri sports to-day, in the ideal surroundings so close to the city. Should the weather be fine many town folk will journey to the country to meet friends who, in these days of restricted travel, they do not see as often as they used to. Horse events, wood chopping, athletics, novelties, in which men, women and horses appe.ar have been arranged to complete a delightful programme. The best of horses always compete at Makirikiri and good entries have come forward this year. Hot water will be available on the ground, and there will be a stall at which pies will be sold. Catering, as in the past, will not be possible on this occasion. Many people will picnic in the sports area and will find facilities for so doing. A river beat service is advertised.
