The committee saw every want supplied and the same good follow- ship prevailed.
The afternoon was devoted to sport, and the lengthy programme was capsibly carried through by the combined committee of British and American officers. They had their work cut out, however, for in many of the events the entries were so numerous that the races had to be run off in keats. Nevertheless, they were carried through with surprising sslerity, and to the satisfaction of both committee and entruntu. Those who won' races on the previous day ware debarred from entering a similar race yesterday: thus every man got a fair chance. The sprinting events proved interesting, and Lance-Corporal Andrewe maintained his title ae a runner second to none in the Colony. Another event which attracted much attention was Putting the Shot.
