We give stronger versions and alternative simple proofs of some results of Beardon, [Be1] and [Be2]. These results concern contractions of locally compact metric spaces and generalize the theorems of Wolff and Denjoy about the iteration of a holomorphic map of the unit disk. In the case of unbounded orbits, there are two types of statements which can sometimes be proven; first, about invariant horoballs, and second, about the convergence of the iterates to a point on the boundary. A few further remarks of similar type are made concerning certain random products of semicontractions and also concerning semicontractions of Gromov hyperbolic spaces.
