CAMBRIDGE SCHOOL SPORTS.

The head master (Mr H C. Dyer) had a busy day ; however, he was ably seconded by the assistant master (Mr Munroe) and the staff of lady teiehors. Jlr J, MeNeish was starter and Messrs Kirkwooil and McVeigh judges, aud they all gave the utmost satisfaction. The handicaps were arranged by Mr Alex.
