ERRATIC JAVELIN THROWER
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
Throwing with a good deal more enthusiasm than skill a competitor in the javelin event' at tho annual athletic sports of the Christchurch Boys' High School with ono shot scattered tho loudspeaker, tho operator, and a small staff of assistants when the pointed missile landed too close. Later, to the great delight of tho school boys in tho spectators' gallery, the javelin pierced the battery box and buried its point several inches deep. The loudspeaker groaned faintly and appeared to be mortally wounded, but when the javelin was plucked out it was found that no serious damage had been done, and the speaker carried on as before.
