With reference to tho soreness felt by . the; Wednesday Association, in regard..to tho iacfc that they were denied tho use .of No. 1 wicket on- the Basin Reserve yesterday, and no written answer, was received from tho Saturday Association in u, reply to their protest; the secretary of the Saturday Association (Mr. 'E. B. Van(e) writes as follows;— "The facts of the case are these: The : Nomad-Wellington fixture was published in -our representative programme, some weeks ago, and tho. Wednesday people should-, have been fully : aware of -; it. Three wickets, the requirements of the mid-'areek association, were prepared this < weok as-usual, with the substitution of No, {! for No. '-,1.. There was no 'hustle' over ithe matter, as I am unaware of any '. proprietary,.right the Wednesday Associ- ■ "ation holdaHover No. 1-wicket, and the parent' aswwation is surely. entitled to the use of'that wicket for. a'representative match. A letter was received, from : , the Wednesday Association last Mondny, - asking ,'fHow about th«",W«<lnesda]r .fix- • - turfa,. arid assuming that their matches were not to be 'blocked.' In reply it ■ was conveyed verbally to the secretary of the Wednesday Association at 2 p.m. on Tuesday that three wickets were available as usual,'subject to' the above-men; tioned substitution, and, further, that ii a written reply was required it .would be . forthcoming after next committer meeting of the' Saturday Association. II js,. hence, surprising-to read that no reply whatever was received. I thiiik, there .. fore, that no lack of 'courtesy was showr

to the secretary of the Wednesday Asso- ] ; elation." ■ ■■ ' - ! SATUBDAY SENIORS. .1 ■ Teams are braoketed as under in the senior fixtures to be played on January 11 find 18:—East A v.
