( 
to 9/7. At this stage Moir collapsed and Mackay 
came to the rescue with two splendid quoits ; as 
a result tiie score was made to read 9 all. Craib 
and his partner tailed to add to their score in 
the following rounds. Mackay, getting in a good 
quoit, lead with Moir 10/9, but in the next round 
Craib with a "Bonnie Shottie" made it 10 all. 
Moir missed again and Grant, with a pretty quoit, 
Avon an exciting game which was watched by 
nearly everybody present at the Sports before the 
breakfast interval, which follov.-ed soon after tlie 
game w<is concluded. In the finals last year Keith, 
Rollo and G A Wyatt beat J R Neale and E 
M Wyatt 11/1. 
FOOTBALL : PLACE A.\D DROP KICKING. 
K Borough scratched. Ten out ot eleven 
competed for this event which was v^^on by A C 
Wilson v;ith four points. D Robertson and F C 
Smith tied with three points each. In the next 
round Robertson scored a point, but Smith failed. 
Robertson was placed second. Other competitors 
were:— W E Vowler, T Cantrell, H G Moir, J E 
Bidden, N Rowsell, S P Bell, and E F Fuller. 
Special mention must be made of Moir's brilliant 
kicking. He, however, had bad luck, and twice 
failed to get between the posts owing to a girst 
of wind wliich came up as soon as ever he liad 
put in his kick. By a singular coincidence Wilson 
and Robertson carried tlie first and second prizes 
respectively last year. 
PUTTING THE SHOT. 
N Bonaparte Wyse was not present to defend 
his unbeaten record put of 38 feet 9 inche.^, al- 
though be was entered to compete for this event. 
His forthcoming depaiture from Ceylon on fur- 
lough no doubt prevented his altendinff the .sports 
last Saturday. Wernham, as was expected, carried 
off the event handsomely. It was roagh luck on 
him not to have put on an extra half-inch to 
his put of 3S feet 8;^- inches, which 
would have placed him level, if not; over Bonaparte 
Wyse, who brought him down from his honored 
■pedestal as Ceylon's best shot putting man— which 
he was from 1898 till January 3rd of this year. 
The performance last Saturday in this event was 
much better than that of the Amateur Athletic 
Association records of the previous day. Greig 
was second with a 33 feet 9 inch put to which his 
handicap of 4 feet mads 37 feet 9 inches, W B 
Bartltftt — the veteran from Dimbulla — was third 
with a put of 28 feet 2 inches. His 9 feet handicap 
brought him on to 37—2. Cooper retired after his 
first put. This event was not held last year.
