St. Patrick's College Sports

(From an occasional correspondent.)

The St. Patrick's College sports were held on the Basin Reserve on Monday, November 2. The weather was perfect and the ground in good order. The finishes were very close, and in some cases extremely difficult to judge. This was especially the case in the 100 yards open, when Cullen, Ryan, and Fitzgerald came in practically in a line, the two first named just gaining first places on the tape. In this race Cullen equalled the college record of Io two-fifth seconds. The 440 yards open was a well contested race, Cullen from scratch winning from J Ryan in good style. The performance of the day, however, was undoubtedly J. W. Stewart's in the xao hurdles. His time was i6sec, which is i-ssec below standard, time. The final of the 50 yards dash was a splendid race, Coakley just catching the judge s eye by inches. The mile was eagerly looked forward to, as promising some excitement. Rochford from scratch was expected to win, and he fulfilled expectations, winning comfortably from Mulgan in good time.. During the afternoon Mr. McLaughlin's band supplied a good programme of music. Among those present were Lady Ward, Miss Eileen Ward, Miss Ruby Seddon, Colonel Robin, Major Hughes, and his Grace Archbishop Redwood. The officials were— Starter, Mr. J. E. Henrysreferee; Mr. T. S.
