Club Gossip Recorded
Collingwood's rooms are regarded as among the best equipped of any in Melbourne, and visiting footballers are always taken to inspect them. On Sunday morning the South Australians and the men of H.M.S. Renown who had taken part in the Soccer match were entertained at Victoria Park by the Collingwood Club. Boxing bouts were staged by Messrs. Syd. Sherrin and Alf. Boyd, and the visitors expressed their appreciation of the club's hospitality.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION.
There was a good attendance at Middle Park to watch the soccer games, the chief interest being taken in the match between N. and D. and Footscray Thistle. Although the N. and D. forwards were nippy and fast, they seemed to be at disadvantage when close to the Thistle goal. Several good opportunities occurred in the first half, when tricky shots in open goal would have ensured a substantial lead. But the marksman did not give the Thistle goalie much to do. Eventually H. Western in a scramble near the posts drove the ball through for N. and D. Thistle rallied but had not scored when the whistle blew. On resuming N. and D. attacked heavily, and H. Western snapped a shot, which was brilliantly saved by the Thistle goalie. The pressure continued, and the ball passed to J. Grieves, who succeeded in getting right through on an individual run, which culminated in a good low drive, against which Hamilton had no hope. From this stage until the finish N. and D. outclassed their opponents. The final scores were: -

ILLUMINATIONS FOR THE PRINCE.

The Visiting Warships,
The programme of entertainment for the officers and men of the visiting warships is well in hand. The theatres, picture shows, vaudeville entertainments, dancing, and other forms of amusement will all play their part. Every night there will be an entertainment in the Exhibition Building; band concerts by the combined bands of H.M.S. Renown and H.M.A.S. Australia, smoke socials, vaudeville, and so on. To these sailors in uniform from the visiting warships will be admitted free, and the public will be admitted on payment of a nominal sum, probably one shilling. There will be a ball for the sailors in addition to that provided by the ladies committee for the officers. The Legion of Frontiersmen will, give a smoke social. The programme of athletic sports includes football (the Australian game, "Soccer" and Rugby). The Adelaide, Jubilee, and University Ovals will be utilised. The sailors will be taken for picnics at Belair and for a trip through the country — probably the Angaston district. Adelaide seems to be in for a time of continuous gaiety.
