BULLS

FOOTBALL. Eight teams representing six clubs took part in tho senior sovon-a-sido tournament for the Bailey Cup. played on Bulls Domain on Saturday afternoon in dull, cold weather. Tho trial games and Maori v Paki’ha match at Wanganui seriously affected tho entries, and robbed the tournament of considerable interest. The attendance was fairly good, and everything passed off smoothly, thanks to the good work of Messrs Abel. Smart, Wiliams. Vile, Mekenzic and others. The referees were Messrs Westwood, Rivers, Gibbons and Signal. The winners turned up in Marton Old Bovs, who played brjght foot ball right through, and thoroughly deserved their win. Dunean and Gatrcll played line games for tho winning team, ami Clapham was the star performer for the runner-up, Halcombc. Detailed results arc as follow: First Round. Old Boys (ID beat Hnnterville B (3). Gatrcll (2) and McDonald scored tries for Old Boys, Dunean converting one Powlcs scored for Hnnterville. Halcombo (6) boat. Athletic (01. Anderson and Cowdrey notched tries for the winners. Bulls A (3) boat Kaieran (3) on a force down, extra time being playedHuntervillo A (6) beat

and especially during the celebration of Mass, and the hearing of cor essions. Difficulties might also arise when a funeral is leaving the church. At mission time people were around tho church most of the day. The Mavor: Where is a better site? Mr Gledhill: In tho Domain, apposite Mr 11. Jones’ residence. Tho Mayor. There is a plantation of trees in that locality. Some £9O has been spent on the plantation, and we could not establish a camp sito there. Rev. Father Doolaghty: The roads about here, especially that between Taihapo and Mangawcka, arc not too good. I think it is the had roads more than the lack of facilities at the camp site, that keeps motorists away. Air A. H. Donne: The school has a vegetable garden near the proposed camp site, and I fear that it would prove a great temptation to campers. There is also some firewood belonging to the school, handy to the suggested sito and I fear that vegetables and wood will be taken if a camp site is established on the spot suggested.

Mr T. C. Kincaid: I must rise in defiance of tho motorists. No reasonable respectable motorist—and most motorists aro respectable citizens—would steal wood and vegetables. The Mayor: I have always considered motorists respectable and I don’t think they would “pinch” or vegetables. Afr De/ine: If wood is badly needed for a fire, and it is handy, the wood will be taken.

Rev. Father Doolaghty said that there were no legitimate complaints concerning the present camp site. Air Kincaid: Alotorists don’t bother to write out complaints. They just move on, and complain to automobile associations. It is the duty of such associations to look after the interests of the motorists.

Cr. E. Loader: We could provide water and light at the present site. We could obtain the light from the Power Board. A septic tank would overcome the sewerage difficulty. Besides there are other suitable sites. The Afayor: Where aro they? We, would welcome a suggestion, even from you.

Rev. Father Doolaghty: The churches should bo considered rather than tho motorists.

Cr. Loader: There is a suitable sito at the back of the swimming bath. There is another by the stock yards in tho Rec., another in tho reserve on the way to the cemetery, and another opposite Afr E. Jones’ residence, as Air Gledhill suggested. The Afayor said that the sites suggested by Cr. Loader were totally unsuitable. He hoped that if the council decided on the site on the old tennis grounds, that those who had objected would find that there was really no serious justification for thei’* complaints after all. At this stage the deputations withdrew.

The matter was briefly discussed by the council, after the deputations had left. The Afayor said that the churches thought that they were going to be disturbed by noises from the camp site, but he was of the opinion that their fear in this connection rould prove groundless. There might be a little noise, but not to anything like tho extent imagined. He hoped that tho objections would bo waived so that the council could establish the camp site in the locality suggested. If, however, the church authorities persisted in their objections, he considered that, their feelings should be considered, and that it would be the duty of the council to abandon tho proposal. He suggested that the matter be held over for one month.

Cr. White thought that the objections raised would be withdrawn wjien the church authorities had time tn fully consider the matter. It was the duty of the council to provide a suitable camp site. The ATayor. I didn’t wish to be rude to Cr. Loader, but two of the sites he suggested, especially the one opposite Afr E. Jones’ residence, are. out of the question. It would be a great pity if we had to remove the trees from our plantation, so as to establish a site. I would strongly oppose the idea.

Cr. McDonald: There are. good reasons for the objections to a camp site opposite the churches. The traffic on that route is heavy. Tn fact I think a policeman should be on duty there. (La lighter). Crs. Butler, Darville. and Wilsher intimated that they would oppose, the establishment of a canyt site opposite the churches, if the chiilh authorities persisted in their objections. They were hopeful, however, that the objections would bo waived. It was finally resolved to hold the matter over for a month, and a deputation consisting of the Alayor and Crs. White and Buller, was appointed to wait on tho church authorities with the object, of overcoming the objections.

The council intimated plainly that if the objections were not waived, the proposal to establish a camp site opposite the churches, would have to be abandoned.

Tho scores were level when time was called, Huntervillo afterwards adding a try. Beran scored for Bulls, and Whetton gained both the Huntervillo tries. Semi-Finals. Halcombo (8) beat Bulls A (0). Marshall scored early for Halcombc, and although Bulls worked hard they could not even the scores, which were 3—o at half time. Tn tho second spell Anderson added a fine try which Dais converted. Old Boys (5) beat Hnnterville A (3). Almost at the outset Duncan scored a good try, fending off several defenders. G. Harre converted. Then Humphries kicked a, penalty goal from wide out for Huntervillo. There was no score in the second half, Old Boys playing safety and forcing. Final.
