The mutter of choosing the umpires for the Canterbury-Wellington and Ilawke's Bay-Wellington matches was left in the hands of ji sub-committee, consisting of Messis. Luekie, Vance, and Crombie. The Amateur Athletic Association wrote intimating that it rco,nired the use of the lhsin Beserve for February 10 for the Provincial Championship meeting. Some discussion took place as to the best method of displaying the names of batsmen and bowlers in representative games for the information of the public. The matter was left in the hands of a sub-committee.

It was decided to ask the coach (Saunders) to begin coaching the three "colts" who have been nominated in response to the circular sent out tn clubs. Mr. Uickcy moved: "That, it be an instruction fo the Selection Committee not to appoint a captain for representative teams, and that the team shall elect its own captain.*' The motion was lost. It was resolved that the Selection Committee should be instructed to select a captain for each match. The -Third Class Championship Committee was directed to use Kelburne and Newtown Parks in place of Hie College ground during the college holidays. The object is to provide against the" loss 'of the two corporation grounds lo the association.
