Maxwell, whoso name and valuable services in connection with banking, and in other directions will long be remembered. He had been in failing health for some considerable time, and passed peacefully away at his residence, Lasswade, Sandy Bay, yesterday morning, in the 75th year of his age. Mr. Crawford John Maxwell was the eldest son of the late Mr. C. M. Maxwell and Mrs Maxwell, and was born in Hobart in 1851. He was educated at Hutch- ins School, under the Rev. J. R. Buckland. At the age of 10 years he entered the Commercial Bank of Tasmania Ltd. as a clerk, and passed through all grades of service, remaining in the Hobart office till 1876. He was then Appointed branch manager at Longford. In 1880 be returned to Hobart as accountant at the bank, which position he held till 1904, when he was appointed manager. During the bank crisis of 1892 he was acting manager (Mr. C. J. Barclay being in England). The Commercial Bank was one of the few Australian banks which carried on during the crisis without being reconstructed. Mr. Maxwell was manager of the bank for 18 years, until April, 1922, when he re- tired. For 12 months prior to retirement he acted as manager of the E.S. and A. Bank. The total term of service with the bank was 54 years. On retirement he took a trip to England, and had since re- sided in Hobart. Although precluded by his position from taking any part in political or civil matters or public affairs. Mr. Maxwell took an active interest in other matters outside banking circles, especially in connection with church work. For more than 20 years he was the superintendent of All Saints' Sunday-school, and for 25 years was churchwarden of the parish. For some years he sat on the Cathedral Board, and was for a long period a member of Synod and of the Diocesan Council. For many years also he was a member of Christ's College Council. For about 20 years he was a governor of the Girls' Industrial School, in which institution he took an active interest, and it was largely owing to his advice that the school was moved to its present site at Maylands, New Town. As regards sport, he was prominent, first as a keen cricketer, being a member of the Break o' Day Cricket Club, playing in North v. South matches, also in inter-State matches, and represented the State against England on three occasions. He helped to start the Derwent Rowing Club, and was for some years on the committee of that club. When golf was introduced into Tasmania, and the first club at Newlands was established by the late Mr. James Macfarlane, Mr. Maxwell took an active part in the new sport, and early won the championship, which he held for two years. When the Hobart Golf Club was started at Sandy Bay he was a member of the first committee, and for 10 years was captain of the club, winning the championship on one occasion. For many years he represented the South in the annual North v. South matches. He was also chairman of the Southern Tasmanian Golf Council. More recently he served on the committee of the Kingston Beach Golf Club. Mr. Maxwell married a daughter of the late Thomas Giblin, and leaves a widow and six sons. The funeral will take place this after- noon, when the interment will be at Cornelian Bay Cemetery. The cortege will leave the residence at 3 o'clock, and at 3.15 there will be a funeral service conducted at St. David's Cathedral, after which the funeral procession will leave for the cemetery.

Reference was made to tho death of Mr. C. J. Maxwell, one of the most prominent golfers and keenest workers for the game in the State, in the course of the report of the Kingston Beach Golf Club read at the annual meeting last night. The report stated that during the year Mr. Maxwell tendered his resignation as a member of the general committee owing to ill-health. The resignation was received with feeling of great regret by the com- mittee, especially in view of the very fine services which had been tendered by Mr. Maxwell since the inception of the club. The committee appointed Mr. Alan Maxwell to the vacancy in the committee. Since this was written, Mr. C. J. Maxwell had. passed away. His death was a distinct loss to the golfing community in Tasmania. He was chairman of the Southern Tasmanian Golf Union up to the time of his death, and always evinced keen interest in the management of the game. They would miss the benefit of his advice, and his capable direction. The president (Dr. R. G. Scott) said that the club had sustained a great loss in Mr. Maxwell's death, and he moved that a letter of condolence be sent to his family. The motion was carried, members standing in silence. GOLF.
