A FOOTBALL CLUB JUBILEE
TO THE EDITOR
Sir, —It may interest many of your readers to know that in 1888 the Oriental Rugby Football Club was formed in Wellington by a band of zealous men. Probably very few of these men are alive to-day, but it occurs to my committee that possibly there may be some one of your readers who was connected with the "Magpies" in that year or in the years since. Commencing on Easter Saturday, 1938, the club is holding its jubilee celebrations, and we invite any old players in any part of New Zealand to join with us during the Easter holidays in renewing old ties and bonds of friendship We would also welcome letters from old players and friends, and would be glad to receive items of interest, including photographs, regarding the Oriental activities in years gone past. It would assist the committee also if old players would notify their names and present addresses, and the year or years in which they played for the club. —I am. etc., W. A. Jameson, For the Committee, Orienwl F.C Wellington, October 19.
