A RETIREMENT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —At last I see by your paper that the long-ta!ked-of retirement from amateur dubs by Mr W. L. Hooper has come 1 think it would have been better had Mr Hooper not have tried to oust reflections on those be is leaving behind him. In respect to tho personal atacks which Mr Hooper refers to as being one of his reasons for retiring, they must bo the ones that ho made against some of the members of the Dunedin Amateur Swimming Club, and it refloats great credit on Mr Hooper retiring when, aa he himself puts it, “if this thing goes on all respectable people will soon leave amateur dubs severely alone.” ] quite agree with Mr Hooper’s step in retiring under the circumstances, but hope that the clubs which be has so successfully brought along will net. all go smash now that he has left them.—l am, etc., M. G. BtrrrKEjrvj.D, September 23. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —As evident from your article that) the mainstay of athletics in general has rein fit, to retire f'om all his pet clubs, might 1 suggest that the various dubs immediately hrve meetings to try and secure other aid, else, if they arc not careful, this singular retirement may be the mean* of disorganising many of thorn.—l am, etc., Pdtzijsd. September 23.
