The Drinking Horn.

Mr. Hott, who was in fancy dress moved that a committee consisting of Messrs. Aimers, Pasley and Corkill—(Amendment: "With Mr. Hott as technical advisor")—be set up—(Amendment: "And kept up")—to draft a set of rules to govern the contest for the Drinking Horn. He suggested six-men teams for the event, contestants to drain three 14oz handlles in relay fashion. "The auckland team trained on half-handles," said Mr. Hott, "but this should not be regarded as a sprint event. The idea of the contest is to test stamina and capacity. My proposal will ensure a real test." The rules so far could only be described as rafferty, and it was time the contest was put on a proper basis. His motion, and another by Mr. Macaskill that a bar for drinking be added to the tournament ribbon, were carried.
