At Tuesday night’s meeting of the South Canterbury Cricket Association, the presidenj! (Mr B. R. Macdonald) made reference to the work carried out by the. Association’s secretary (Mr A. E. Izzard), who, he said, had worked iudefatigaibly in Hie interests of cricket. Mr Izzard briefly replied. New Zealanders generally and Wanganui residents in particular, will be delighted to read of (he successes of Mr A. E. Porrilt, New Zealand’s Rhodes Scholar at. Oxford (says the Wanganui “Herald”). Advice has been received that Mr Porritt has just gained his B.A. degree at Oxford with second-class honours. In view of his numerous al.hlert.lc and public engagements in England, America and on the CouItinenl, which necessarily take up a considerable amount, of time, the success of the Dominion's representative is most meritorious.
