The financial statement showed a credit balance of £lO 3s lid. A resolution was passed* that this association again affiliate with the Manawatu Association. '

A discussion took place in regard to the O 'Connor Cup competition for boys, as it was evident that this branch of cricket required more fostering. A committee was appointed to consider the question of having sthe conditions revised with this object in view. The hope was expressed that the Levin Wednesday Half-Holiday Club would be able to put a strong team in the field, as the Phoenix Club has already taken steps in this direction, and endeavours will be made to establish a live mid-week series of matches.

The next annual meeting of the Association will be held in Levin.
