Mr Kelly declines to give any indication the nature of his recommendations he is making to the Board of Control on his. return, hut it will not be surprising if he opposes the playing of future tests at Leeds which, despite the great advantage, the Austral’;’"'’ gained there, cannot be considered as a ground up to test standard. The players themselves undoubtedly would prefer more matches in the more pleasant south and west ol England at the expense of the gloomy north. This year saw an experiment in the accommodation of the team at the Midland Hotel, away from the fashionable centres, partly for economy, and partly

because there were fewer distractions nod less unwelcome curiosity regarding the players than if they had stayed at the West End. It is believed that Mr Kelly', will re-v commend the continuance of this poliev provided the hotel agrees to certain conditions.
