The Parting
The Parting
"you may part your hair in the middle but never part with sixpence"
—MacDougall.
Wednesday was a day of parting and in the morning a pleasant little function took place at Kirkealdie and Stains' Tea rooms, when the teams from the four Colleges were entertained by Mr. G.F. Dixon, the Chairman of the Tournament Committee. Mr. Dixon feelingly expressed regret that he was severing

his long connection with the Tournament, but was pleased once more to meet the visitors. Cheers for the retiring delegate and the singing of Auld Lang Syne closed a pleasant function. Immediately afterwards the Aucklanders were farewelled as they left by the Main Trunk Express, and in the evening Dr. S. J. Simpson took his departure for the South, accompanied by the visiting Otago and Canterbury representatives.
"Pleasures, alas ! how fleeting: but oh ! The memory."
