WAIRARAPA COLLEGE

ANNUAL SPORTS SPOILT BY RAIN YESTERDAY. CHAMPIONSHIP COMPLETED. Owing to steady rain setting in late yesterday afternoon, several handicap events had to be postponed at the athletic sports held at the Wairarapa College. The championship events were completed, however, and enabled the presentation of trophies to be carried out. Until the rain came excellent times had been recorded, and several records for track events had either been broken or equalled. There was a large and representative gathering at the presentation of prizes ceremony held in the college assembly hall during the afternoon. The Wairarapa College Pipe Band was in attendance and rendered two items. The band was in good form and received an excellent hearing. Mr. G. W. Morice, acting-principal, extended a welcome to the visitors and expressed appreciation to all who had assisted in conducting the sports. He congratulated the winners on their success, and the losers on their good showing. Mrs. W. R. Nicol, wife of the chair-; man of the Board of Governors presented the cups won, as follows:— GIRLS.
