“Don’t you think we are having a little too much of these hockey tours by young girls ? ” asks “ Sports ” in . a letter to the Gisborne Times. “It isn’t the game I object to, or even an occasional tour, but when you see a dozen or so Gisborne girls only just in their teens bawling at the top of their voices as a farewell to a crowd of Napier schoolboys as the Monowai leaves the wharf such interesting ditties as ‘We Parted on the Shore,’ ‘Won’t you come out to-night?’ and other vaudeville favourities, it is surely time to cry a halt. I know there were many passengers on the Monowai who, like myself, were disgusted with conduct almost approaching rowdyism on the part of these young girls.’’ Have you tried Wolfe’s Schnapps for kidney ailments.
