The management should take into consideration the fact that these sports were organized with the intention of bringing the boys of the various schools in the Colony into friendly rivalry in healthy outdoor sports, and are not intended as presentation" benefits "to a favoured. few. There can be no doubt that the school sports would give more general satisfaction if the prizes were spread over a larger number of competitors, which, by judicious handicapping and penalising for previous wins, could easily be arranged, The Band of the Richmond played selections during the afternoon and added greatly to the general enjoyment. At the conclusion of the sports Mrs. Marsh presented the prizes, the boys showing their appreciation of that lady's kind ness by giving her three lusty cheers, and also favoring the Administrator in a like manner.
