THE VISIT OF THE ENGLISH CRICKETERS.
Thebe is a hitch in the negotiations with the English cricketers for the Christchurch visit. They demand twothirds of the total receipts after all expenses are paid, and the Lancaster Park Company demand all the rest, except 10 per cent, for the use of their grounds. The Association has refused this, and require 5 per cent, for the gross receipts, leaving the company and the cricketers to settle their own terms for the use the grounds. This is said to be a final offer on both sides, and as Conway may probably refuse, it is very likely the team will not visit New Zealand at all this year. It has been definitely stated that their visit depends on the bonus they get at Christchurch. The cricketers here think the Englishmen’s demands are too high.
