Captain-Chaplain Moloney, on the first visit of the Marama to Southampton with 500 wounded soldiers, left for London, where he spent a few days, and then went to Dublin, where he was met by his friend and former teacher, Very Rev. Dr. Watters, S.M., first Rector of St. Patrick College, Wellington. In writing from London to his relations in Dunedin, Captain-Chaplain Moloney mentioned that he was in remarkably good health. The official opening run of the St. Joseph’s Harriers was held on Saturday from the residence of Mr. J. J. Marlow (the club’s president). The trail led from Bowen street to Tomahawk, via Tahuija Park and Lawyer’s Head. Skirting the lagoon, the pack reached the high road at Shiel Hill, and a grand run home through Anderson’s Bay and Tainui resulted in T. Roughan being first, and G. Pedofsky and M. Cosgriff being second and third respectively. The club was then entertained at tea by Mr. and Mrs. Marlow and their lady friends, and justice was done to the good things provided. After tea an impromptu programme of musical items was provided. Befpre leaving, Mr. J. O’Farrell (captain) thanked Mr. and Mrs. Marlow for the afternoon and evening spent with them, and Mr. E. W. Nolan (deputy-captain) thanked the ladies who had assisted.
