On Monday the old boys of the Wanganui Marist Brothers' School treated the two teams to a 20-mile trip up their famous river. Arrangements were in the capable hands of Mr. C. Morgan, and under his charge a most enjoyable day was spent at Hipango Park, where a soccer football match was played, the Wellington lads winning by 9 goals to one. On the following morning before leaving by train the visitors accepted a challenge and played the Wanganui team at Rugby. The visitors stuck pluckily to the game in spite of the weight of the Wanganui champions, who eventually won by 11 points to nil. Much to the x-egret of both parties, good-bye had to be said at 1.15, when the Wellington team left by train for home.
