Pattie, who is retiring from medical oraetice and taking .up his residence permanently in tlie Nelson district (reports “The Post”). The president or the club, Mr M. J. Casey, referred to Dr. Pattie’s long connection with the club, of nearly a quarter of a century, and expressed the real regret of members, not only as howlers, hut as citizens, that Dr. Pattie was leaving Wellington, for he was a man of wide interests quite apart from his interest and influence in sport. On behalf of the members the president presented Dr. Pattie with a rug and a. case of pipes. Dr. Pattie feelingly replied. Mr C. J. McKenzie.
