Bee'ro (Wellington), and A. J. Petherick (secretary). Tho secretary of'the Lawn Tenuis Association of Australasia wrote, stating that little definite information had been received as to tho intention of the English Association in regard to the tour of au English tcaiu, so that an amount of uncertainty existed in .the minds of tho council. Writing under date of June 21, their representative in England stated:— "Tho Australasian offer has been accepted, and a-British team .will bo sent," and in a letter dated July 12, he said:—"l do not think, that you would be able to arrange a tour of Australia, and New Zealand solely on the , halfahare basis." Prior to the timo of writing a cablegram had been received in Sydney, giving the team as: Dixon, Beamish, Parke, and Gordon Lowe, arid stating that they intended playing at Sydney, Adelaide, .'Brisbane, and Perth after tho Davis Cup match.

He' thought that the Management Committee should endeavour,to obtain some definite information as. soon as possible. If too' miich time were allowed to elapse before taking, action!
