The annual steeplechase events of the Tauranga High School were held this week and created considerable interest. The course for the seniors, about three and a-half miles, was a trying one, but all the competitors finished. The race resulted: F. Clarke, 1; M. Pearson, 2; P. Sander, There were 70 runners in the junior steeplechase, over a two-mile course. The result was:—A Bremner, 1; C. Guinness, 2; J. Hopkins, 3. J. A. Newman, coach to the Canterbury Cricket Association, played 47 innings for the Hampshire Countyeleven in the past English cricket season, and scored SS9 runs, at an average of 19.32: he was once not out. took 6S wickets for 29.04 runs apiece. The decline in his figures in such a fine summer indicates how unfortunate it was that Newman started the season under the handicap of illliealth.
