“THE BOYS’ BRIGADE”
COMBINED PICNIC AND SPORTS. The Invercargill companies of "The Boys' Brigade” held their first annual sports at Thomson’s Bush on Saturday, March 5. The officer presented a good programme and some interesting running was witnessed. Unfortunately for First Invercargill Company, some of their best boys were competing at St. Paul’s sports.
