This season opened somewhat unfavourably for our Club, but it has closed with unprecedented success. The Club is now in the proud and honourable position of being the premier Club in the city. Its senior team gained the Championship Cup, after a series of brilliant matches.

A most pleasing feature, of which all who belong to the Club should feel proud, is the great popularity of the College hockey teams. The Club has also reason to be proud of its members, namely, D. S. Smith, G. S. Strack, C. H. E. Strack, and B. Kibblewhite, who gained representative honours this year, and also of those who gained a place in the B. representatives, R, St. J, Beere, H. Mona page 56 ghan, P. Burbidge, and C. H. Taylor. Combining these honours with the wining of the Cup, we have every reason for saying that no other city Club ever obtained such high honours in one year.

To celebrate the great victory, Mr. Beere, the captain, gave a dinner at the "Grand," at which all were pleased to see several members of the first team to play for College, among these being Geo. Dixon, De la Mare. Skelley, Matheson, Sladden, Furby. All had a splendid time. The speeches and toasts were of a high order, and the one regret was that we were turned out at 10 p.m. Burbidge developed as a sprinter. He came to the dinner about an hour late, but caught up—no short cuts either—in under twenty minutes. You never know what you can do till you try.

The junior teams have been well spoken of by hockey authorities, who say that College will have no difficulty in maintaining its premiership next year if the present juniors train consistently and although the Thirds did not win Cup again, the Club must thank those who were sports, and who did not flinch from playing continuously for the honour of our College.
