HOBSON SHIELD SPORTS.
CHAMPIONSHIP HONOURS WON BY FOXTON.

The principal schools in the district sent their champions to compete, and two lorry-loads of children and adults went from Foxton. The competitive spirit was very keen, and some excellent finishes were witnessed. The running by two of the girls, (Margaret Barron (Foxton), and Iris Milne (Tokomaru), was remarkably good, both girls showing staying power and easily f outdistancing their competitors.
