The athletic sports to have been held at Newtown Park on Easter Monday have been definitely postponed until the 24th of May, the anniversary of the Queen’s birthday. Some uneasiness was caused on Saturday night by the disappearance of two or three lads, who, not finding the Wellington holiday attractions to their taste, procured the neces sary cash, and started per s.s. Grafton for Christchurch, in order to be present at the opening of the Exhibition. One of we bear, was taken into custody by his father s friends immediately on his arrival at the City of the Plains, and will be sent back as soon as possible. The others are still at largo, and are probably by this time thinking of the re ception that will await them on their return.
