MR. HAROLD M. BAYLIS
SUDDEN DEATH AT WAGGA.
A feeling of widespread regret pervaded the community on Saturday, when it became known that Mr. Harold M. Bayiis, the well-known Wngga solicitor, had passed away suddenly from heart failure. He had been in his usual state of health, and spirits the previous evening, and the news of his sudden end came as a severe shock to his wide, circle of friends. Although he had complained of not feeling at his best for two or three days, his condition did not cause his friends any anxiety, nor did it prevent him from attending, to his duties at his office in Fitzmaurice street. On Friday evening, he had entertained his niece and her baby daughter, and retired as usual at about 10 o'clock. In the morning, Mr. C. L. Daley, clerk of the shire councils, whose residence faced Mr. Baylis' home, called to see him, and found him in a very low condition. Dr. Martin was immediately summoned, but the patient lingered only for a little while, and passed away at 9.30, Dr. Martin, Mr. C. L. Daley and Nurse Oakman being at his bedside. Mr. Baylis was the third son of the late Henry Baylis, for many years police magistrate at Wagga, and was born at Wagga on June 3, 1862. Ho was educated at King's School, and passed from there to Sydney University, where he obtained his B.A. degree. While at the university, honors in the football field fell thickly upon him. He captained the Varsity team for three seasons, and led the New South Wales fifteen against the English team which toured Australia and New Zealand in 1889. He also led the State team in the matches against New Zealand and Queensland. He was regarded by Stoddart and C. B. Fry as the best rugby forward in the world. His fame was at its zenith in the days of the old three three-quarter system, when individual play reached its highest standard. In the councils of the Rugby Union the record of Mr. Baylis as an adviser and player was a high and honorable one. In the field his play was characterized by cleanness and dash, mid, it may safely be asserted that he never made a single enemy: among the hundreds of footballers among whom his lot was thrown. As president of the Southern Districts Rugby Union, which post he held for many years, he worked hard to guide the destinies of the Rugby game, his efforts being ably seconded by his eldest brother, Mr. J. J. Baylis. Mr. Baylis commenced his legal career as managing clerk to Mr. L. F. Dixon, of Sydney, about the end of the eighties. He was admitted as a solicitor in 1887, and, with the exception of a short break, followed his profession in Wagga, continuously for thirty years. During that period he became intimately associated with all classes of the community, and witnessed the development of the district through its stages of growing activity to fixed prosperity. He was an excellent shot with the gun, and in the early days was well known in pigeon shooting circles. Until the time of his death the duck and quail seasons found him two or three times a week seeking the best sport with the gun. Although his public activities did not cover a wide sphere, Mr. Baylis took a deep interest in matters that affected the development of the district. He was a trustee of the Wagga Common, and was for some time member of the Murrumhidgee Pastoral and Agricultural Association. Many public charities and objects deserving of financial assistance benefited from his unostentatious gifts. Six brothers survive Mr. Harold Baylis. The eldest is J. J. Baylis, of Wagga, Henry G. Baylis, who was relieving draftsman in the Lands Department, died about six weeks ago; Robert D. Baylis is shire engineer at The Oaks; F. C. Baylis is acting Clerk in Divorce, Supreme Court; F. A. Baylis is an inspector in the Auditor-General's Department; A. B. Baylis is relieving manager in the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney. The youngest brother, A. C. L. Baylis, is Chief Clerk in the Registrar-General's Office. The steady stream of callers at the residence of Mr. J. J. Baylis showed how general was the esteem in which his late brother was held. Throughout Saturday and Sunday many persons paused when passing Mr. Harold Baylis' office in Wagga, and perused with feelings of sorrow and emotion a brief notice that the premises were closed through his sudden death. On all sides were expressions of poignant regret and manifestations of sincere sympathy with
Mr. J. J. Baylis, who did not hear the news of his brother's death for several hours, and had to drive 50 miles when recalled home. The funeral will, leave the late Mr. Harold Baylis' residence, Simmons street, at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

THE LATE MR. H. M. BAYLIS.
FUNERAL AT WAGGA.
The respect and esteem in which the late Mr. Harold Baylis was held throughout the community was illustrated in a marked degree yesterday, when his remains were borne through the town of Wagga to their last rest ing place at the Wagga Cemetery. As the cortege, which comprised over 300 vehicles and l5 motor cars, moved from his residence in Simmons-street, Wagga, residents gathered in the street through which it passed and silently paid their last tribute to the deceased gentleman's memory. At each intersection fresh vehicles joined the procession, which was nearly a mile in length when it reached the cemetery. The hearse, mourning coach, and deceased's buggy were a mass of floral tributes. The principal mourners were Messrs. J. J. Baylis, F. C. Baylis, F. A. Baylis, and A. C. L. Baylis (brothers). The Municipality of Wagga was represented by the aldermen and town clerk. The trustees of the Wagga Common, of whom Mr. Baylis was a member, were present, namely, Messrs. G. P. J. Mahon, W. .1.

Hughes, acting C.P.S., Messrs. H. K. Mitchelmore, H. O. Heath, P. R. Higgins, W. M. J. Walsh, and F. C. Stellway. The police were represented by Inspector W. A. Duprez. It would be difficult to give the names of all who attended at the graveside. The assemblage included representatives of public bodies, a large number of sportsmen and visitors from Sydney, Junee, Uranquinty, The Rock, Bullen I i»ong, Yerong Creek, Coolamon, Marrar, Barefield and Cross Roads.
