HBH 1892 Nov 14 3 High School Sports Boys HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS The High School Boys had a splendid afternoon for their sports on Saturday, and a goodly number of spectators were present to witness the various contests. The seventeen events on the programme were got off with great promptitude, and there were excellent finishes to all, a fact reflecting great credit on the handicappers. Mr WOOD acted as starter, ably assisted by Mr F.FRASER, while Messrs P.S. M'LEAN, PIERCE, C.D.KENNEDY, PINKNEY, CULTON, and E.RUDMAN acted as judges. The most successful boy of the day was W.G.WOOD, who won the School Cup (three distances) and the two long distance races, the latter from scratch, and in both instances beating large fields. HESLOP and THOMPSON were second and third respectively in the Cup, while THOMPSON succeeded in annexing both the jumping events. The Old Boys' Challenge Cup for the highest aggregate points (to be won three years before becoming any boy's property) will also be held by W.G.WOOD for the ensuing year, he having scored 20 points. Of the other boys SEVERNE'S jumping was much admired. He was however, beaten by a handicap. A word should be said for A.RICHARDSON, a boy of 13, who after winning the Half mile race for boys under 14, ran most gamely in the Mile (open), leading into the straight, and spurting with WOOD right up to the tape, finishing a fine second. Afternoon tea was provided for the visitors by Mrs WOOD, assisted by a bevy of young ladies, and this item was much appreciated. The prizes were presented to the successful boys at the conclusion of the sports by Mrs WOOD. The following gave prizes or donations towards the prize fund:- Mesdames: RICHARDSON, WOOD, MARGOLIOUTH, CLARKE Misses: MATTHEWS, and M'HARDY The Hon J.B.WHYTE, Rev. D.
