place under the direct supervision Of
the playground department of the Dis
trict government.
Eight division meets have been held.

performances of representatives OF va
rious institutions have been such as to
leave the probable victor mere mat
ter of speculation. inasmuch as none Of
the squads has shown distinctive supe-
riority Medals will be awarded to the
youngsters who finish first. second and
third in the various events. gold for
first place, silver for second and bronze
for third.
