The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1907

The Mayoral Reception

The Mayoral Reception.

"Did he receive you well "Most like a gentlemen."

—Hamlet

Saturday morning opened with a slight breeze and a clear sky, and by 9 o' clock the majority of the Southern delegates were present at the City Council Chambers, where His Worship the Mayor of Auckland officially welcomed the visitors. His worship's remarks showed a hearty appreciation of the true aim of the Tournament in fostering a vigorous University spirit page 16 among the students of the various College, and at the conclusion of a happy little speech he was Vigorously applauded.

Professor Segar also said a few words on behalf of the Auckland Professorial Board, and was succeeded by Dixon as representative of the three Southern Colleges. Their sentiments were voiced in his usual lucid manner, and feeling reference was also made to the sad death of Trevor Hull—who was to have represented Auckland.

When Ziman of Auckland had thanked the Mayor and extended a word of welcome from the Auckland students, some mutual cheering was indulged in and the gathering dispersed—to meet again at Devonport, where the tennis matches commenced at 10 a. m.
