There was a large attendance of tho children and their parents and fiiemjii, and the weather was bright and favourable throughout. Every arrange ment was made for the thorough enjnymont of the children, and tho various events were keenly contested, and excited considerable intrrcst. The idea of holding these sports in connection with tho school was woll conceived, being something for tho children to louk forward to, and, judging by the attendance on Satin day, theoccision i* ono very popular with tho parents and the public generally.
