FOOTBALL UNITED METHODIST CLUB.

The second annual meeting of the United Methodist Rugby Football Club was held in the clubrootn, Donald M'Lean-street, on Monday evening, Mr. E. C. Feltham presiding over a good attendance of members. The annual report stated that the fourth-class team last season put up a very creditable showing, gaining fourth place in the competition. This was the first occasion on which the club had en» tered a team. In one match they gained the record score for the fourth grade—--79 points to nil. This success is mainly attributed to the captain, Mr. A. I Church, and to the efforts of the secretary. , The balance-sheet showed a ere-dit'bala-nce of £2 8e 7d. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follow :-— Patron, his Worship the Mayor (Mr, J._ P. Luke) ; president) Rev. J.
