Wc all know that the farmers' busiest time is round about the Christmas- season, and yet the Wellington, and Xew Zealand captain did not hesitate to assist Wellington and Nov# Zealand in the games arrelnst th" Ml. < . at this period. We apnreciate t.ie seiisacrifice he has made for the game this season, and the least we can do is to let him know we are not unmindful of them," stated Mr. Broad. The motion to forward a letter of thanks to Lowry was carried unanimouslv.
