The chairman reported that he had * interviewed the secretary of the United Swimming Club (Christchurch), who was arranging a carnival to be - held at "the end of the month in aid '• of the fund. At the trotting meeting ■ at Christchurch, on Saturday he had ' collected £lOl, not meeting with one - refusal. This spoke volumes for the - sportsmanship of those approached. The treasurer reported that the sum of £630 had been collected to date.
Mr McElrea (president of the Box- - ing Association) said it was too early in the season to hold a tournament with any assurance of success.
