LICHTNVEICHTS.-Scott vs. jones. Both boys displayed excellent ring craft. Scott, the winner, was much faster and had the advantage of a longer reach, which helped him. Nevertheless, jones took every advanf tage and fought very well. WELTERWEIGHTS. - Sproule vs. Boate. The decision was given to Sproule on a technical knockfout. He was very accurate .in timing his blows and soon had Boate in trouble. The loser was down for the count of 4 and 9 in the 1st round, and to save more unnecessary pun- ishment, the judges quite rightly awarded a decision. Boate showed the utmost pluck throughout the short time, and is much to be congratulf ated on his effort. LIGHTTIEAVIES.-McGregor vs. Gook. The last bout of the evening proved a good one. McGregor, a novice in the ring, was far more active in his methods, and was given the decision. Both boys boxed well. The winner is to be congratulated on his exhibition which was the result of consistent training. Gook, the loser, is a much improved boxer, and displayed good style in the ring. Athletic Sports The 32nd Athletic Sports Meeting was held at the School on Saturday, June 4th. The weather was all that could be desired and, after a long diy spell the ground was in excellent order and look' ing at its best. The temporary demise of The Spirit added to, rather than detracted from the perfection of the course for the Atco, with some assistance from Clarke, had done the work of the departed Spirit with some meticulous care. About four hundred and fifty people witnessed the races which were keenly contested throughout and were remarkable for a good deal of clever judgement and wellftimed sprinting. The Senior Championship was won by McGregor who, though he only won one race, succeeded in nosing out Thorne by means of ones and twos for thirds and seconds. Escobar won the Intermediate Championship and Pike the Junior. Mr. G. Tisdall of Duncan, introduced by the Headmaster presf ented the prizes, after having addressed the boys and the visitors Tea was served, as usual, in the Gymnasium.
