The balance sheet was adopted. A. discussion took place in reference to amending ilnle 2, which made the commencement of the season in September, but ns other local clubs commenced at an earlier date, the club last year had been placed at a disadvantage, as when the secretary had endeavoured to arrange matches it was found that the other clubs had already made their arrangements. It was resolved that the season commence in August. The Chairman said he had a pleasant duty to perform, that of presenting a bat each to the highest average bowler and batter, also one to the best all-round player. As no conclusion had been previously arrived at in regard to the selection of the best all-round player, a discussion took place as to whether the selection should be left to the committee or the captain and vice-captain to arrange, and on the matter being put to the vote, it was resolved that the committee should decide.
