MARTON SPORTS.

To-Morrow. Should the weather hold fine tomorrow another t success should be added to those already scored by Marton Athletic Club. Tho Club deserves hearty public support, not only from those resident; in the immediate locality, but also from all in the district who take an interest in sport, and as the Club lias siiown how well a meeting can be conducted the support no doubt will ho liberally accorded. The programme is decidedly attractive, and all events have filled remarkably well. The preparations made for to-morrow’s gathering for the convenience of patrons should easily place tho Club in the van of country meetings. Nothing will be left undone that could, in any way tend to tho comfort of the public or the success of tho meeting.
