The weather proved line and though a cold wind was blowing this did not deter a large number of parents and friends from gathering, and the scene, particularly In the afternoon, was a very animated one. unusual interest being added by tho flights of the aeroplane overhead, which was a novelty to the majority of those present, all of whom were delighted by the stunts and appalled by the subsequent disaster.

beaten, viz., the senior and junior long jump, the 100 yards under 11 cup, and the 100 yards senior cup, whilst other records were eaual. The officials all did their work well, Mr. W. H.
