Technicals reply was a poor one and they could registered only 55 runs. CHRISTCHURCH. The annual smoke concert of the M.H.0.8. Association, held last week, was made the occasion of a welcome to one of its most popular- members, Mr. Brian McCleary, who for the second time in succession has won the amateur heavy-weight boxing championship of Australasia. Mr.' B. McKenna (club captain) presided. There were over 100 members present. One of the principal toasts of the evening was "Brian McCleary." This was proposed by the chairman, who said that Mr. McCleary, in winning the Australasian heavyweight boxing championship two years in succession, had put up a, splendid record and had reflected glory on the association. On tho last occasion ho had met men much taller than himself, and had defeated an opponent who was two stone heavier. Not only was he a champion boxer and , a first-class footballer, but an example to all men of what the right kind of citizen should be. Brian McCleary and J. Griffen, in the speaker's opinion, stood out as the two best amateur boxers New Zealand ever produced. Mr. S. Wilson, president of the Canterbury Rugby Union, proposed the toast of "The Marist Old Boys' Association." He hoped that the association's ventures in the realms of sport would meet with the same amount of success as it had in football. Rugby football had made the Marists' Club, and tho St. Patrick's Athletic Association the live sports institutions which they were. He concluded by congratulating Mr. McCleary on having twice in succession won the amateur heavy-weight boxing championship of Australasia. The toast was replied to by Messrs. G. P. Payne, D. - McCormick, C. Meechem, and W. Brittcnden. Mr. C. Dobbs, in proposing tho toast of "The Marist • Brothers," referred to the live interest the Brothers manifested in their old boys. Rev. Brother Phelan responded to the toast. He congratulated Air. McClcarv on his successes, and said that, while the Christchurch Marist Brothers' School could not claim him as an old boy, the Marists could claim Purdie and O'Neill as "old boys." The example set by the Marist senior football team was a fino one for the lower grades. It was a pleasure to tho Brothers to take an interest in the old.boys and their sports, because they were such a fine lot of young men, but the pity was that after the football season was over the Brothers saw them only occasionally. He would like to see club rooms established, and he appealed to the old boys to set this scheme in operation and have club rooms 'established before another football season had passed. INVERCARGILL. The Marist old boys of Invercargill aro entering three teams in the cricket competition this seasonsenior, junior, and third grade. Last season the junior team won the premiership, winning the 12 matches it played. Several prominent players have offered their services to the M. 8.0.8. this season, and the senior team hopes to give a good account of itself. Mr. Ted Kavanagh, one of the best all-round players in • Southland, is captain of the team. The members arc showing great enthusiasm in attending to the practices. The school team also is showing splendid form, and the standard of play has been favorably commented upon.

It is folly -to worry one’s life away. Life is given to us for a specific purpose. It is a time when we must reap. Did the Creator ever intend that any life should reap unhappiness ? Of course not.
