Otago, we thank you. In vain we have endeavoured to find words which could express our feelings. We can only say that never before has there been such a Tournament. It was excellently organised; there was not a hitch anywhere; the weather was always fine; indeed, except for Monday, it was perfect; and there was not one regrettable incident throughout the whole week. Our teams only brought back, it is true, two wooden spoons, a shield and a drinking trophy; but we have, and always will have, memories of a great Tourney and a most marvellously friendly and hospitable people.

There are some 46 hotels in Dunedin, but the intensive nature of the Tournament precluded our visiting two of these, and as a consequence there had to be substituted various social activities called parties.

These took place only, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Thursday, of course, was the day we arrived, and Tuesday was the night of the Tournament Ball.

Kegs and bottles of refreshment were often in evidence, and once some bread-and-butter was consumed and some eggs and bacon fried. It would not, of course, be politic to give a detailed account of these activities, nor for that matter would it be possible for any of those who had been present to give any account.
