The tournament this year will be held at a date to be fixed, and on Friday evening last a representative meeting of Wellington Chemistß was held to arrange details. Mr. W. F. Larkin, manager of Sharland and Co., Ltd., was in the chair, and representatives of all branches of the profession were present.
