A goodly number of parents and friends of the students attending St. Patrick's College assembled. at the Thorn don Baths on Saturday afternoon, the occasion being the annual swimming sports of that institution (writes our Wellington correspondent). Although the water was not conducive to good racing, some fast times were recorded. All the events were keenly contested, and it says much for the handicapping that close finishes were the rule and not the exception.* The college championship was won by P. McCarthy (of football fame), who put up the remarkable performance of being placed in each of the six events for which he entered, his record being four firsts and two seconds. The item which attracted most attention was the relay race. At St. Patrick's there are comparatively speaking very few Wellington boys, the greater majority of the students coming from all over the Dominion. In the relay race teams were composed of four from each province of New Zealand, hence the interest taken as to which would prove the champion province. Strangely enough the winners turned up in Hawke's Bay, who.

won the same event in the field sports. It may be a sign of the times, but it is a fact that most of the athletic prizes at the college are carried off by Hawke’s Bay boys. Messrs. Smith, Gasquoine, and Healey acted as starters, Mr. P. McCarthy as press steward, and Mr. W. Redmond was secretary. The results of the racing are appended :—• 50yds College Championship P. McCarthy 1, T. Burke 2, W. Redmond 3. 50yds Junior Handicap— Johnston 1, L. Brownlie 2, E. Whittle 3. 50yds Senior Handicap— Burke 1, P. McCarthy 2, L. Brownlie 3. Neat Dive —L. Brownlie 1, E.

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS’ FOOTBALL CLUB DUNEDIN. The annual meeting of the Christian Brothers’ Association Football Cluo was held on Friday evening. A very large attendance of members was presided over the Rev. Brother Moore. The secretary presented the annual report, Avhich contained the following clauses: Although unable to report a very successful season, your committee desires to congratulate the teams in the various grades on the sportsmanlike spirit in which they played the game. In the opinion of the committee two causes were responsible for our position on the lists. The first was the removal from Dunedin of several of the most experienced of the First Grade players. To supplement these losses, too severe a tax had to be made on each of the lower grades, the weakening effect of which is too plainly evident from the records. The second cause was the want of systematic training. An honorable exception must be made in the case of the Fourth Grade. It rarely missed a training night. Individual brilliancy cannot compensate for skilful combination, which cannot possibly be expected unless each team trains as a body. The committee earnestly hopes to see a decided improvement in this respect during the coming season. The First Grade finished the season with the following results: Played 14 matches, won 3, drew 7, lost 4. It is a pleasure to be able to state that the membership roll last year was the highest in the history of the club. Your committee notes with pleasure the continued success of the school teams. The A and C teams were runners-up in their respective grades, while the B team finished well up on the list. The chairman moved the adoption of the report and balance sheet, and said it gave him much pleasure to do so. He trusted that members would consider the advice given in the report. If they did so, and trained as they should, he felt sure that success would be theirs. He knew that the question of training was a sore point with all football clubs, and presented difficulties that were hard to surmount, but he could assure them that the oftener they could fill the gymnasium the better it would be for themselves. The clubs connected with the school were a credit to the Christian Brothers, and judging by the excellent attendance that night, he felt certain that the future was a bright one. On behalf of the school team he took the opportunity of sincerely thanking the committee for its thoughtfulness in donating a first-class football. * Mr. E. W. Spain, who seconded the motion, made a few remarks regarding the necessity for training. A noticeable defect in the play of the First Grade team last season was its shooting, which, with proper attention to training, could be rectified. I ho report and balance sheet were unanimously adopted. J The election of office-bearers resulted as follows: Patron, Rev. Father Coffey president, Rev. Brother 0 Donoghue; vice-presidents, Rev. Brother Moore, Rev.

Fathers Buckley, Corcoran, Delany, Morkane, Liston, Collins, and D. O’Neill, Messrs. E. W. Spain, L. F. Casey, W. Woods, W. Goughian, T. A. Laffey,, J. O’Brien, J. Collins, and J.
