Carterton Sports.

Favored with glorious weather, the Sports at Carterton on Tuesday, January 22nd, in aid of the funds of the Church were well patronised, although the attendance was not up to, the anticipations "6f the promoters. About 800 people too on the ground, of whom a fair number were from the surrounding townships, The arrangements made by the Committee were a littlo inadequate. The sports started at about U o'olopk with the Maidon race, after which proceedings were stopped, pending the arrival of the 12 o'clock train, which was supposed to have one pr two competitors on board. Notwithstanding the. clamoring of the. competitors in the Anniversary Handicap (21 in number) the Committee were obdurate, and. delayed the first event until the arrival of the train. l'helOO.yards. course was terribly rough, neither was it ! partitioned'off, ' and the consequence ' was that the . people crowded' in, leaving only a. few yards for the winners. • Tlioro scorned to be no organisation whatever, the audience being allowed to wander: on to the course''at will, , no. attempts being made to keep tie enclosure clear. The Anniversary Handicap brought out a very large field, the first event (100 yards) being run in heats, the first of whioh fell to Reading; with 12 yards, .Braiinigan scratch, second; Fairbrother. third.,; Sennex, teii yards; won tUo second event, D'Arey second, Thompson third., The,third event was appropriated by Beiri, with Udy and Kidd second and third. In the final, the field was got away to a good start, Beading leading throughout and finally whining by about a foot from Fairbrother, with whom D'Arcy' rau almost, a dead heat. The latter, unfortunately, severely injured- his hip about' twenty yards froin the tape when running very strongly. He kept up, howeyej, and fell' m passiil" the .post. ' lie was promptly pibted up and carried to the cloakroom, where lie was attonded tg byDr Johnston, who expasetV himself of opinion that ft ß injury, would iiicapiieitatq jiim from athletics for'at Ifflst 12 months.., Beading also won the second event, thus; placing the handicap to bis, credit,- '-The best race of .the i/iy .was undoubtedly the' Forced Handicap, m which 3?«tois

So slowly weie the events got off, that at 6,80, I when the Jlasteiton contingent had * t to leave, the tilting at the ling had > not commenced. The one ledeemnig featuie of the Spoils was tho t splendid stalling of Ifi teechy, who fin instance got his eueedingly tioublesomo fields away iu a manner that e\oited the adiuu'ation of even 1 the competitors.
