NAPIER.

Dear Beb, March 17. THE NAPIER GRAMMAR SCHOOL SPORTS were most fashionably attended. It was a perfect summer day. and Mr Monckton and Mr Gray, with the assistence of Messrs J. Parker and Morris, had all their work to do to get through the programme before the dusky twilight came on. Mr Monckton is most beneficent in his prizes, which, as on former occasions, were very costly and numerous. First and second prizes were awarded in every race, and were all silver. The band played all the after noon, and delicious afternoon tea was brought round to one and all to the stand, an innovation duly appreciated.
