ST. PATRICE xS SPORTS CLI 15

Spoil ; clubs as a rule receive far more “brickbats” than “bouquets." It is therefore refreshing to find two of the visiting cyclists at the last sports meeting conducted by the xSt. Patrick’s Day Sports Club, writing letters of appreciation to the club. Mr. Maurice J. Green, of Okaiawa (Taranaki) writes as follows: “I should like to express my sincere thanks lo all those who were conneel cd with the sports gathering in your town. Your trophies ’were a very lino lot indeed, and far superior to anything I have seen in my travels as yet. The kindness and courtesy that was extended lo me, made my short stay a memorable one. and 1 ask you to accept my greatest appreciation for the honour conferred upon me in asking me to be your guest. If I can do anything to further the interests of your sports meetings in future, I shall not fail to do so. In conclusion I should like to make special reference to your energetic secretary (Mr. B. H. Guthrie) who left no stone unturned to make my stay a very pleasant one. Wishing your club the best of success.” A letter was also received from Vernon Manning as under: “Just a short, note thanking you for the kind invitation to compete at your meeting. I was very pleased with the way the meeting was run, and greatly impressed with the excellent trophies. I have told all the cyclists and runners here how well your meeting was conducted and what an enjoyable time I had. I wish you every success in the future.” GOLF NOTES TAIHAPE CLUB An inter-club match between the Taihape and Waimaiino Golf Clubs iwijl be played on the Raukura links during the week-end, when the lirst match for the “Cascade” Cup will take f/Jacc.
