ST. JOSEPH’S HARRIERS, DUNEDIN.A' On Saturday the members of St. Joseph’s Harriers held their official opening from'the residence of the Hon. J. B. Callan, M.L.G. There were 16 runners present. J. A. McKenzie' and R. Metcalf had charge of the paper, and laid a very- satisfactory trail, directing the course towards the Dunedin-Kaikorai tram power house, across a variety of country. -At various stages of the run great difficulty was experienced by the pack in distinguishing their own trail from that of the Y.M.C.A., who were using the same paper. At the conclusion of the run the members were hospitablv entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Callan. CHRISTCHURCH. ■ The first of this season’s round of football contests (writes our Christchurch correspondent) was played on last Saturday in delightful weather. For the senior championship, playing on Lancaster Park, Linwood defeated the Marist Brothers’ Old Boys. C For the junior flag the Marist Brothers’ Old Boys met and defeated Kaiapoi, on the latter’s, ground, by 6 points to 3 points. Birmingham and Austin scored for the Marists.In their match for the president’s cup the Boys’ High School defeated the Marist Brothers’ Old Bovs’ team. " . J In the fourth class contest the luck ~o f 'the Marist Brothers’ Old Boys was again proved /to be out for the day, having to suffer defeat by Merivale. The results on the whole clearly indicate that our players must pursue a strenuous and consistent course of training. . Although their form will undoubtedly improve as the season progresses and successes come their way still, m football, confidence requires backing up with something more convincing.
