Welcome.

The official welcome was held in the Gymnasium in the afternoon. It was quite funny to see the old Gym. preening itself at the idea of posing as a real Union Hall; but it did very well, and few-guessed that it wasn't the real mackay. The cold afternoon and the paralysed period under the stern eye of the photographer caused the representatives to fall with gusto on the excellent tea provided by the Hui Marae.

Tournament began in earnest on Saturday with the preliminaries of the boxing, and the tennis in the morning, rowing in the afternoon, and the boxing finals at night.
