AFTERMATH OF BATTLE
SOCCER TEST FELICITIES A crowded dining room, good music, daintily-laid tables and a. kaleidoscopic sea of faces under the gleam of scores of electric lights gives a bird’s-eye-view of the Hotel Cargen dining room on Saturday evening, when the Canadian and New Zealand representative teams were the guests of Mr. E. si. Davis, president of the Auckland Football Association. A number of toasts were honoured, the speakers being Sir Thomas Mackenzie, M.L.C., Mr. G. Baildon, Mayor of Auckland, Mr. F. Campbell, chairman of the New Zealand Football Association, Mr. J. Adam, manager of the visiting team, Mr. H. S. W. King, Mr. H. R. Mackenzie, and Mr. A. Menzies, chairman of the Auckland Football Association. Various speakers mentioned the feeling of good-fellowship existing between the two Dominions, which had become more deeply evidenced through the meeting of representatives of the two countries on the field of sport. After the dinner the teams went to Dixieland, where they were the guests of the manager, Mr. Loveridge. There closed on of the most enjoyable evenings of the tour.
