PAEROA SPORTS

BIG EVENT OF YEAR A SUCCESSFUL GATHERING (From Our Own Correspondent) PAEROA, Saturday. Although rain fell nearly all day yesterday, and last night, with extreme cold, the weather broke fine this morning for the annual sports of the Paeroa Athletic Club. There was a large attendance of local residents, but it was not equal to the visitors from outside districts. Keen interest was manifested in all the events, which were all well run. The track was in good order, the rain, instead of being detrimental, rather improved the ground. Results: Boys’ 100yds Primary Schools’ Handicap, under 15 years of age.—Final: J. Finlay, 1; G.
