Mr. Edgar Wyhe, so well and favourably known in. the Rugby football world of Wellington, leaves shortly for Palmerston North, to join Mr. Cooper in the new law firm of Bell, Gully, and Cooper in that town, and act as its chief olerk. As captain of the Oriental Club last season, "Edgar" was as popu lar among lus opponents as with his club mates, and his place will be liard to fill. As a representative forward, he has always been considered to have fully earned his place, and was a clever frontranker. Rugby football in Palmerston North has been practically dead for a few years now, but it is Mr. Wylie's intention to revive interest in the good old game in that town. My heartiest good wishes for a successful business career, as well as many more successes in the game ie loves so well, go with him to his new abode.
