The football season was opened on Saturday by the annual fixture. East v. West. The club have been fortunate enough to have a splendid site loaned by Mr T. Turner. It was noticeable that three or four veteran players had omitted to don the jersey, but as they were interested spectators, there is still hope for them. This is the game from which the teams are generally selected, and the selector has some good material to work upon. There were quite a number of players new to the spectators, ana from their play they are not new to the game. The annual dinner was held at Miss Hunter's Hotel, and there'was a splendid attendance of players, vice-presi-dents, and patrons of the game. Mr W. J. Worthington was at the head of the table. The repast was one of the best that has been provided, and ample justice was done to it. After the dinner a very enjoyable social was held in Turner's Hall. It was given by the Otorohanga Football Club to celebrate the opening of the football season and to entertain their lady patrons. The trophies of war won by the team were displayed, and made one feel proud of the local team Mrs Holden officiated at the piano, mid Messrs Worthington and Elliott, made efficient MC.'s. A very dainty supper was handed round, and thanks are due to Mrs Worthington, and the Misses Mooney, Johnson, and others who assisted in the preparation of the supper.
