NOTES ON THE DUNEDIN MEETING. (BY CURSOR.) How the. Wellington representatives worthily represented our town at the mock ing on the 17t.1i February is ancient history, but seeing tlmt on that 'occasion, for the first time, Wellington became the holder of t he coveted banner, some notes on the way that banner was won and some account of the incidents, humorous and otherwise, that took place, may not be amiss.
And first let us say A. word or two re the banner itself- Many of you, no doubt, saw it floating; to the breeze at the meeting last year in Wellington, and to those who did its black and silver sides and monogram ;US) familiar. But even these may ftOt have noticed who have been t in) iVmnors, wljoi?e names arc inscribed upon its fbldk. Bet this then Ivo my excuse for stating that it has been competed for live occasions. Thrice has it boon Won by Canterbury, viz., at the first, third and fourth meetings, once by Auckland at the second, and now last month by Wellington. It is awarded to the club whose representatives ?odpe most points—a first in any event counting five points, a second three, and a third one. Oil this occasion Wellington scored nine firsts, two seconds and one third; making in all 52 points, the highest number of points save one by which the banner has been won.
