A large and enthusiastic meeting of students was held yesterday in the University chemistry room to reinstitute the Otago University Fives Club. On a ballot Messrs VV. E. Herbert, E. F. Melhuish, C. B. Snow, F. D. H. Ulrich, and A. R. Falconer (hon. sec.) were elected as a committee. Our cycling contributor has it on good authority that Mr Marshall, of the D.C.C., has challenged Mr JR. M'Kenzie, of the 0.C.C., for a road race to Henley. “Old Rod ” seems very eager for the fray. The race should prove to be an exciting one, as both men are excellent road riders. Several members of the Otago Cycling Club intend leaving town for Palmerston on Saturday afternoon, returning on the following day.
