As the New Zealand Cricket Association is appointing the umpires for the Auckland-Wellington Plunket Shield match, it has seen fit to ignore the .Umpires' . Associations throughout ■ the Dominion. The members of the Auckland Umpires' Association have deoided not to act in any Saturday match played under the direction of the Auckland Cricket Association. At the beginning of the present 1 season' it was thought that if tho. New Zealand Cricket Council would undertake the appointment of umpires ill the Plunket Shield matches it would do away with a difficulty which seemed to exist, but the local Umpires' Association never ' imagined that in making the appointment; the New Zealand Cricket Council would go outside tho members of the Auckland or Wellington Associations. DEPARTING. . REPRESENTATIVES. Soven members of tho Wellington representative team left for Auckland, yesterday—Messrs. Blacklock, Saunders, ■ Findlay, Schmoll, Naughton, Mahoncy, and Hickcy. All save tho last-named player left by tho mid-daj;. express. Brice and.Gibbes intend leaving tor-the north to-day. The dato on which the Rev. E. 0. Blamircs will make the journey is uncertain. Private considerations have arisen which may interfere with his making the trip. KEATHCOTE-WILLIAMS SHIELD. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) ' Christchurcli, December 21.
