KIHIKIHI SPORTS.
On New Year's Day the annual sports were held in the Domain. There was a good attendance, between 500 and 600 people being prefent. The meeting was an unqualified success, due in a very large measure to the indefatigable secretary, Mr Sam. Armstrong. . There were two booths for the supply of refreshments, a publicans' under the care of Mr Corboy, and one for the supply of light refreshments in charge tf Mr Peckham. Both did a good trade.
