LATE SPORTS AND PASTIMES.

The Tabernacle Football Club held an enjoyable social at the Y.M.C.A. Rooms on Thursday. The president (Mr W. P. Baker) presided and congratulated the club on their great success in winning the championship in connection with the Church I nion Football Competition of season 1897, and with such a marked result, viz., matches played. 7; won, 6; lost, nil; drawn, 1; points scored, 62; against, nil—a very creditable performance, indeed. Presentations were made as follows : President’s medal for best all-round play, Charles Lamb; medal from club to best forward, W. Kearney. An interesting programme was prepared of vocal and instrumental selections, also recitations, given by members and friends. Refreshment’s were handed round, after which Mr Mason, on behalf of the Tabernacle F.C.. presented the President with a handsomely framed photograph of the team. Mr Raker feelingly thanked the members for the kind and unexpected gift. The gathering separated with the singing of ‘Auld Lang Syne." The photograph was from the studio of Mr F. W. Edwards, and reflected great credit on this wellknown artist. GOLF. WELLINGTON. October 22.
