Prior to his departure from the West Coast for Wellington, T. O'Callaghan, the' Rugby wing three-quarter.and profe«si6nal sprinter, was given an enthusiastic *ena-off. A graceful tribute from the West Coast Rugby Union was paid by Mr. Ji'F. Wilson, who said that in wishing O'Callaghan good luck and prosperity he was expressing the eenti-: mente not only of the Rugby Union, .but of the jurey.Amateur Athletic Club. O"iCaJlaghan. had earned a great reputation as a clean sport, and had gone high tip in the sporting worjd. Fpr years Se had..done credit to his- province by liis performances on'the running track. . One of the finest sights that could have been seen anywhere was a race between Steel and O'Callaghan on Easter Saturday last. As a footballer, O'Callaghan was probably one of the finest wing three-, quarters in the Dominion. He had left on the West. Coast an inspiration to those who came after him. During* the function presentations were made to the guest. O'Callaghan is now on the staff of the Wellington branch of the Bank of New Zealand. •
