' Appreciative reference to the manner in which Mr. R. W. McVilly had guided the destinies of amateur athletics in New Zealand in his capacity as president was made at the' meeting of the council of tlie N.Z.A.A.A. last night, the meeting being the final one before the annual general meeting. Mr. L. A. Tracy referred to the wise leadership of Mr. McVilly, who had shown that, above all, what he desired was the advancement of the sport. His decisions had always been fair and just, and he had taken a broad and considerate view of the question* brought before him. Mr. H. I. Austad endorsed the -remarks of, Mr.' Tracy. Mr. McVilly, replying, said that his job had been made pleasant by the loyal co-operation of the members of the council. The duty of the council was not to take the parochial view but the broad outlook as to what was best for the sport throughout the Dominion. It was pleasing to know that he retained the confidence and good wishes of the members of the council with whom he had been privileged to work However, all had to recognise that changes were bound to take place from time to time. He would have no ill feelings if someone else were elected next week to take his place.
