Holders at last of the Dixon Trophy, emblem of inter-College supremacy at cross-country tunning, the Club anticipates another good season. Following custom. Weir House was the starting point for the first run, club members having their usual Jog round Tinakori, and afterwards being entertained at afternoon tea by the Warden and students of Weir. Staunch supporter of the harriers. Mr. G.F. Dixon, president, of the club, wished it well again, and his remarks were endorsed by Messrs. H. McCormick and G. C. Sherwood vice-presidents.

The second run was from Wades-town thence across the Kalwarra Gorge, up old Porirua Road to Ngaio, and across country back to the starting point. This was followed by the Novice Race on 14th May. Establishing an early lead. A. R. Burge and F. D. O'Flynn ran together until a quarter of a mile from home, when Burge drew ahead to win by a good margin. A new runner. J. Palmer, displayed a fine burst of speed over the laxt half mile. arriving at the tape on O'Flynn's heels.

A six-mile course from Wadestown over touch country was chosen for the run on 21st May. This run was perhaps noteworthy for the fact that several members of the slow pack, missing the trail, ran several miles further than other runners. This has happened on every club run so far this season.

Will be Missed.

For years A. G. Bagnaill and A. Horsley have been among the club's star men and their decision not to race this year is much regretted. Their loss will be severely felt, But with its numerous new members, several of whom show promise, the club should make a bold bid to retain the Dixon Trophy.

Mr. G. C. Sherwood, trainer since the foundation of the club, is now living in Paekakariki and will not again be available until a more frequent train service is established. However, he hopes that he will be able to assist runners for a while before the N.Z. University Cross Country Championships. Victoria College Harriers are much in debted to Mr. Sherwood for valuable assistance and advice.

Harriers and others have admired the cartoon by A. S. Paterson which is now hanging in the Men's Common Room. The anonymous donor has the thanks of the club for his gift.
