SAVAGE CLUBS.
DOMINION’S UNIQUE POSITION. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Aug. 3. After having successfully assisted in the formation of a Savage Club in Sydney, Colonel A. IC. Loach (Christchurch), secretary of the Associated Savage and Orphans Clubs of New Zealand, returned by the Wanganella to-day. Mr Loach said there were over 100 members present at the inaugural meeting of the club, at which he had made the presentation on behalf of the clubs of New Zealand of a uniquely constructed gavel, the hammeriiead being of a whale's tooth and the handle ol a deer’s antler. Colonel Loach said New Zealand was the home of the Savage and Orphans Clubs. The original Savage Club was situated in Loudon, but other than that there were no other Savage Clubs in tile Homeland. There were 22 Orphans Clubs and 18 Savage Clubs in New Zealand, while now there was a Savage Club at Sydney and at Melbourne, and an Orphans Ciub at North Shore (Sydney). Colonel Loach said his belief was that the Savage Club movement, once it started in Australia, would make rapid progress. Many people he had met were rather dubious on hrst hearing of the club, but they soon became enthusiastic when shown that the true aim of the movement was social and •cultural, and savoured of anything but a sell-admiration society.
