Mr. K. D. Beaton, secretary of the Queensland British Football Association, reports that his body has secured the use of the Brisbane Cricket Ground for the next football season. The best premiership matches will be played there every Saturday, and interstate matches against New South Wales, and in all probability a New Zealand team, will be seen in Brisbane during the season.
The usual intercity matches against Ipswich and Toowoomba will take place, and altogether a good season's football is promised. "Soccer" football has a very good following in Brisbane, the gate takings whenever matches were played on enclosed grounds being proof of this. It must not be forgotten that there is a large population in Brisbane, of English and Scottish birth, whose only education in football has been "Soccer," and these people will not support any other game. In the circumstances the financial success of the "Soccer" people's venture is regarded as certain.

Cardiff will quickly be followed by others. Registration forms are in great demand. Adamstown held their social and presentation of medals in Waugh's refreshment rooms. Among the large attendance was the Mayor. Alderman B. Saunders, and Mayoress, Mr. A. Cameron (ex-Mayor), Messrs. W. Brown (town clerk), L. Tamlyn (Northern Association), Major and Mrs. H. J.

Opportunity was taken to formally hand over to the soldiers' memorial fund the sum of £104, being the result of the club's effort.

Meetings.
The annual meeting of the Port Kembla Homing Pigeon Society will will be held on the 24th inst., in the Club room. All members are requested to attend. A meeting of the Past-time Club was held on Wednesday in the Club room. Mr. F. S. Nicholson was elected president in lieu of Mr. Dan Murphy, and Mr. Langham was appointed vice president. It is proposed to give an exhibition on the 14th of April, the attractions to include boxing, wrestling, and horizontal bar displays.
With a view to forming a Soccer Club a meeting was held at Cox's residence last evening. An enthusiastic body of young men assembled to discuss ways and means. The movement is really a resuscitation of the Club, which existed here in pre war days. Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities the club disbanded owing to every player enlisting. An effort is being made to form two teams— a second and third grade. The A.L.P. intends holding a meeting on Sunday to further the candidature of Messrs, Davies, Cleary and Chalker.
