NEW ZEALAND CRICKET COUNCIL.

GENERAL MEETING. [By Telegraph— Press Association.] Christchurch, last night. At the general meeting of the New Zealand Cricket Council, a letter was read from Dunedm suggesting that an Australian team bo invited to visit New Zealand this season. The Chairman said that he did no: think a team could be got over as suggested, but it would do no harm to scud an invitation. Most likely next season a team would visit England from Australia, and .on its return arrangements might be made including New Zealand in the tour. The Hawke's Bay Association wrote urging that a committee of three bo set up to select the team for tkq North Island in the inter-island match.

It was decided to appoint one selector for tho North Island and one for the South Island to pick the respective teams. I It was resolved that tho fixing of the date of the inter-island match should be deferred until the daces of all interprovincial matches have been settled. The Canterbury v. Otago match was fixed for December 26, 27, and 28, at Hagley Park. It was decided to send a cable to Major Wardell, Melbourne, asking whether it would bo possible for the English team to include New Zealand in the tour. Some dissatisfaction was expressed at the meagre accounts sent through the Press Association of the results of the English and Australian matches.
