SECONDARY SCHOOLS' SPORTS. SUCCESS OF CHRISTIAN BROTHERS' COLLEGE. IN CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS. NEW RECORDS ESTABLISHED. The lar e number of people who gathered at the Association Cricket Ground yesterday alternoon to witness the sixth annual ath letic championship meeting in connection with the secondary public schools derived a very real pleasure from the day's proceeding:. The weather. although dull, did not interfere with the attendance, and the snorts wero carried out in a manner which reflect. ed distinct credit on the Secondary Public Schools' Spo-ts Association and on the large staff of oficials, including the hen. secrelary (Mr. J. L. O'Sullivan). Each succeeding year increased interest is evinced in the sports. and the treeting yesterday can without qualification easily be regarded as the most successful on record. The entries were large, and the events were all well contested and in a commendable spirit of friendly rivalry His Exceltency the Governor (who afterwards presented the prizes). Ladv Edeline Strickland, and Miss Strickiand, accompanied by Capt. lKer-Pearse, were interested spectators for the greater portion of the afternoon. With the honour of their schools to uphold. and with handsome prizes awaiting those successful, the competitors fought out keenly the racing and other events. Championship honours went to the Christian Brothers' Collego. Scotch College being next. Christian Brothers' College were also represented by the most successful athleto in Cummings, who, it may be stated in passing, is a prominent League foot.aller. The Eame College was successful last year, add on that occasion also Savage. one of its representatites. proved the cha:npion athlete. The next best champion yesterday was Richardson. of Scotch College. The only occurrence to mar in any way the enjoyment of those present was an unfortunate accident in the High Jump, under 16. Wilkerson. one of the last of the three competitors to remain in, fell heavily on his wrist. It was afterwards found that he had broken it. First-aid appliances were quickly brought on the scene, and Wilkerson was shortly afterwards conveyed to his home. Several new records (indicated below) were established during the afternoon. while in other events the time was equal to records already held. Of the younger competitors, Gonzales stood out as an athlete of fine promise. The Mile Open Race-the final event-was won on the tape by Richardson, of Scotch College, after a magnificent finish with Yelverton, of the same school. At the close of the afternoon His Excellency the Governor presented the trophies to the successful competitors, and at the instance of Mr. Faulkner. headmaster of the High School. three lusty cheers were afterwards given for His Excellency and Lady Edelino Strickland. A programme of instrumental music was carried out on the lawn during the afternoon. Following were the officials:-Patron, His Excellency the Governor Sir Gerald Strickland, K.C.M.G.; referee, Mr. D.
