(To the'Editor)' _ '.'t, Sii',— Mr, H. Eientpn^s statements r egaridihg' tlie 'Levin' Fbotball Clup ahd the Wahaerers'- GMb as separ-1 ate dmtities > isome 50 iyears »ago a'ret quite accurate. . No one has dis-. pute,d ' the . factsi The jfunctions, being h'eld in Jun'e . next to ' eelebr.ate ' the jubilee ; 'are all 1 in -' rthe naine 'of "Levin -Wanderers." » The present Levin Wanderers' Glub- was founded by- bothi'-clubs, the Levin Glub, beingi, in existence in 1898 and the Wanderers' * Club in 1900. • As Mr. DentOh points 'out} the- two clubs- later- amalgamatevi. Considering this fusion of the twd clubs,. it is .obvious that . both are virtually in existence. today under the h'dhie of "LeVih" Wdn'dfef efsV'*' it 'would • be • 1 er.roneoud to -designhtd the, jubilee as being either oiie or the other. , .• ; Mr'. Denton is a vice-president ,o,f the jubilee organisation, and was present at the inaugural meeting to formulate plans for the celebrations. It was felt that the jubilee should date from the original Levin Club in 1898, and thus all thcse eonnected in any way would be included. The misconception which has arisen is due to the present d.ay error in calling the Levin. Wanderers' Club the "Wanders." Yours etc..
