Through the generosity of one of its vice- presidents, the Hawthorn Club has been enabled to erect a handsome memorial to those of its members, who gave their lives to the Empire. The memorial is in the form of a granite column which has been erected in the municipal reserve adjoining the boathouse. The unveiling ceremony, which was carried out by Cr. Sambell, was witnessed by a large gathering, including many lady supporters of the club, who were afterwards entertained at afternoon tea. Club fours provided a good deal of interesting rowing, and an entry of five crews was received. The committee had provided well for the entertainment of the visitors, and a string band enlivened the proceedings.
