March 3. Craven School Sports. The annual sports in connection with Craven School took place on the racecourse at Awapuni last Friday afternoon. A large number of relatives and friends of the pupils accepted the invitation of the Misses Fraser to be present, and thoroughly enjoyed the outing. The day was most suitable in every way—no wind, and an absence of excessive heat. The old girls’ race—always a very interesting event—was won by Miss Sybil Abraham. This year it was a hobble race, all the competitors having their frocks tied in, and needless to say, it was responsible for a lot of laughter. Mrs. R. S. Abraham presented the prizes to the successful ones. Miss L. Lethbridge, for obtaining the most points at the sports, won the Craven and Old Girls’ Cup, and Miss P. Harden, the runner-up, was awarded the Helen Crawford Cup.
