Well, of all the days to pick for a sports day, Wednesday was a honeys •H was only about .97 in the shade and a mere 11J in the sun, but competition was very keen, despite the heat* la the pillow fights we saw some of Saturday’s faces trying themselves out again and also quite a number of new ones. The standard- was a little higher than the last day, and we witnessed some good, bouts, one of the best of the day being between Anderson and Shilton, who sat knee to knee and wasted XXXX out of each other* Warman, who was a Winner on Saturday, fought well and walked off with the fags again. Other winners were Logan, Bernicker O’Malley. • \ /•., lijl the obstacle races, most of the .competitors caineoff the track with sore knees? but the long crawl -through the wind-tunnel did not mar some of the close finishes.. This was one of the events that the Officers shied clear of - the SISSIES., The finalists and ultimate winners were:- Phillips, E Coy, Goulde, E Coy, and ’L , McDonald, 16 ,R 0 C. .5 ; ■
The sack races drew their fair quota of entries, and some of the antics of the competitors brought many a laugh from the onlookers, mostly from the Native Crew, who chuckled with glee in their inimitable way * Those who touched the - tape first were':- H H Collins, E O’Donoghue, Greentree*
