He was an ardent member of the Progress As- sociation, and the old Miller's Forest Railway League. He was patron of the Cricket Club until he resigned to reside in Sydney, and held office as vice-president of the Football Club on numerous occasions. On his leaving the district the var- ious sporting bodies tendered him and Mrs. Keogh a wonderful farewell.
