The Harbour Excursion.

On Tuesday afternoon a large party went to Day's Bay by the "Duchess" and Victoria College proceeded tc pay off old scores and, so to speak, slay the Amalekites. This was effectually accomplished by a football match, two hockey matches, and various hampers of light refreshment provided by Mr J. Godber, Victoria College winning in each encounter. The football ground was very hard and so were the remarks of those who had to wait for the second round of Mr Godber's cakes—remarks shouted in unison from the gallery.

Hunger being in some measure appeased a very enjoyable concert was held, to which items were contributed by members of all the teams. The Master-of-Ceremonies was assisted by a small but athletic committee which decided on the next performer and heaved him on to the platform. Such a committee was not to be gainsaid and it did its work with so much judgment and skill that the fun was fast without being uproarious. At 9 o'clock the "Countess" left for town and the holiday was over.
