Amateur Athletic Club.

The second annual meeting of the Athletic Club was held on 28th September last; when the following were elected for the year, viz.—

President: Professor G. W. von Zedlitz; Vice-Presidents: the members of the Professorial Board; Captain: F. A. de la Mare; Hon. Secretary: T. E. Seddon; Hon. Treasurer: H. W. King; Committee: the Captain, Treasurer, Secretary, and G. F. Dixon and A. Tudhope.

The Report showed a membership of 21, and a credit balance of £1 6s. 6d.

As the costume of the Club's representative has hitherto not been sufficiently distinct from worn by Auckland and Dunedin, it was decided that the Club's colours in future, should be "all black," with the College badge added.

One of the chief objects of the Club is "to secure the worthy and adequate representation of Victoria College "at the annual Easter Tournament. No one has denied the worthiness of our representation in the past; it is hoped that in the near future, there will be less scope for questioning its adequacy. With a view, therefore, of encouraging a greater number to seek representative honours each year, the incoming Committee was instructed to arrange, if possible, for an athletic meeting, to be held shortly before next Easter. If this is done, as we hope will be the case, and enjoyable and successful afternoon should be spent if students will only do their best to secure that end. The need for increased to qualify for Easter will find that "training" is by no means uninteresting and unprofitable.
