Catch the Rose

The Catch the Rose event was won by- Frost who snatched the handkerchief from Popplés arm by using good strategy. Hunter was second. The conclusion of the Musical Chairs was an amusing one when the last chair, in the shape of Popple, started to run when the riders dismounted to tag him but Laing eventually cor-nored him to win the event.

Wrestling event was won by Laing although Popple would probably have won it had it not been for a "conspiracy" to overthrow him with outside help. The event was won by Laing. Prizes were also presented to the most improved Junior-Mul-vane, and the most improved intermediate-Wilson. The Open Pair jumping event was won by Miss Mellor and Popple.

Plans are under way now to hold a jumping competition for the Senior boys some time next month; arrangements are in the hands of V. D. Rogoff. til
