BAYLY MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

THE ATHLETIC CONTESTS. .J9 The athletic competitions in connwfl tion with the Alf Bayly Memorial scho]Ajj|H ship, promoted by the Taranaki Union, for pupils of Taranaki schoajnfl were held in Stratford yesterday, undJuH most unpleasant weather conditions. the 48 nominators, 23 competed, t«|fl New Plymouth High School and WcimH End School sending a big percentage \<>j&m their representatives under the cnanwM of Mr. H. H. Ward. The Central SchxHflM was not represented. Omata and Stra&jM ford were also well represented, whilwM one enthusiast from Kapuni braved elements. A noticeable feature of tbJS initial scholarship has been the total lack of interest shown in Soutv9| Taranaki, in the Wanganui EducatioraM Board district. A school of the import 49 ance of Hawera, for instance, did not>ffl nominate a single scholar—a poor comiH pliment, it seems to us, to the RugbjlH Union and the Taranaki and WangaintiHH Education Boards, who have provideijoß what should be the most coveted juniogHfl scholastic honor in Taranaki. It is to|H be hoped that the Southern schools wiltlM .show a more lively interest in this eg-jj sentially Taranaki scholarship. |9 Despite the weather, the were productive of splendid sport, a very fair average of athletic abttityjH was shown by the boys. The leadeigjM in the athletic competitions, Belcher, njjjM a strong runner, and a fine all-roun&U athlete, and in a measure stood out frorifcjfM his rivals in the majority of the eveniatgß The average performance of the NeWgM Plymouth High School representativ«|M was distinctly good, and, moreover, consistent throughout.
