Performances of a Elgin Standard. '•ln evtry district we revived a flattering rt»':ef/.ivn.' ; *s.id Mr .Moloney "and :J.e team responded with its befet." The -"Standard of performances wa* bigls. MaeFariane bad been running the 100 yard* and 220 yards consistently in even time. T. G. Broadway ran the quarter-mile several time* under 31»ee asd the half-mile in under 2mln. There had been some criticism in Cbristcburch of the inclusion of MatIhewj in the team, oi. the grounds that lie wouid overwork himself. The results of tee tour ha<j far from justified this. however. Mr Moloney claime-i. as Matthews bad not met with sirenuocs opposition. He Lad ran the races in his own way and was never over exhausted. The i&h that be lowered hi* mile record at the final meeting of the tour proved that be had not overdone himself. His team-mates bad impressed upon him the necessity for re*t. He had promised them. Mr Moloney ssid, that. he would not attempt anything strenuous during the next two seasons. Regular Tomrs in the Putaxe. Mr Moloney considered it highly probable that tours by athletic teams from the various centres arid inter-provin-cial meetings, also, would beeome regular features of the athletic season in future. The idea of athletic tours in Sew Zealand had originated in Canterbury and was modelled on those that had been conducted in the Old World for some time, between Great Britain and the Continent.

"Our team has benefited greatly by the tour/' Mr Moloney concluded. "We have gained valuable competition and experience, which will serve us well at the Dominion Championships in Christchurch next month.'' NEW BRIGHTON CLUB.
