SPORTS MEETING AT CARTERTON. The iinewly-formed Carterton branch ' of the Wairarapa Caledonian Society ■ hid their initial sports gathering on | the Carterton Showgrounds yesterday, . there being a splendid attendance of , the public. A specially large number , of Masterton people w?re present. ; The brilliant success of the gathering i reflects credit upon the Society, and v the Secretary (Mr Gavin Dykes). \ Fnte-rtairiment was provided ..for , everyone, for beside the sports there > were numerous side-shows, and the va.rious tents were well patronised. , The Highland events on the pro- ] gramme/proved to be the most at- .< tractive and the- bagpipe music was j worthy of special mention. Daisy . Meltfflan was the most successful ] juvenile Highland dancer winning both , the Fling and Reel-O'-Tulloch. ,The ; amateur running events produced big ; aeids, and the Masterton men prac- ; tically swept the board. R. McKen- i zie, with four wins and one second, ; won the gold medal presented by Mr . H. Dooly .and was followed by J. Mc- ; Kain, with two wins and one second. < . The item of the afternoon was the « Highlanders' race (in costume), which produced a big field, and was won, all . out, bv the drum-major, Mr H. Long. . No official time was taken but it is . confidently expected that the standard was lowered.
