    You may need to revise the date. This photograph was (first?) published in "New South Wales: Its Railway System, Holiday Resorts, &c. A Convenient Volume of Reference to the Principal Railway Stations and Places of interest Along the Railway Lines"; published in Sydney by Authority of the Railway Commissioners of New South Wales in 1897.

    I see you have not deigned to correct the date.

    Some sort of Sports Day? I see sack races and tug-o-war. Can't pick up the location. Almost looks like T.N. Kirnon School but I'm sure it isn't.

    A sport's day attended by the Governor on Antigua - showing sack race and tug-o-war. Possibly St John's ? Verified by Nat Archives
