"' The annual general meeting of the 'North Shore District.Football Club will be held iff the Foresters' Hall, Devonport, this evening- * The report which will be submitted, to the meeting states that although the seniors V* failed to keep up to their reputation of the previous season, owing to a chapter of acci-'-dent& the juniors succeeded in winning two'-'"* championships, viz., second and third grades. ■ r The first grade played eight matches, won 1 V two and lost six; points. 3 for 19. - against 91 '■ The second grade played 10 matches, win- '* ning nine and drawing. the tenth; they secured 71 points against 16; this grade hag, •"'- now won the championship four times dur- ; " ing the past five years The third grade*"-"! were also successful, after an interval of 10 years; their record was nine games played, seven won. and two drawn; points, for 36. against six. The fourth grade played a nirm---" her of matches but did not meet with much' "' success, owing principally to the want of 3-" ' ' ground at headquarters, it being too mucH for these young players to constantly travel. ' so far and keep a good team together. i.ur» ' **'' ing the season a team visited AVaiuku, wherer they were beaten, but the treatment by the" - AVaiuku~ club more than compensated them ? for the loss of the match. The AVhitianga' Football 04uh paid a return visit to North Shore, and beat the home team' by six: points to three. The club have joined tin* Sports Protection Society, the object being ." to prevent the various clubs from being im-■-: ■ posed upon;-,-and to look after the interests of sport generally. The delegates of the A.E.U. met a short time ago. and revised the rules, the principal alteration lreing in* regard to junior clubs, and which would bo! • laid before the meeting to-night. An offer' has been made to lease the vacant allotment adjoining the training shed. and. the committee and trustees ask the club's approval to grant a. lease for a term of years.The committee record, with deep regret, the - death of one of its members, and at one ' time captain of the seniors, Mr. Neil C. Smith. The balance-sheet shows that the. receipts for the past season totalled £63 JSs 6d, and the expenditure £126 12s 3d. leaving a debit balance of £62 lis 9d; £60 of this amount was owing on the dressingrooms. which were erected at a cost of £78 10s. An attempt was made to reduce the debt, hut it was unsuccessful. The assets over liabilities amounted to £262 10s .sd.
