Lawn Tennis Association to-night ended by the Canterbury delegates giving notice of a no-confidence motion in respect to the committee: ''That, owing fo the fact that the management committee ha 9 proved by itspa-c actions that it arrogates to itself powers not given to it .by the rules, and also observes secrecy with regard to its actions, refusing to reveal correspondence and its minutes of the business done in connection with such an important matter as the playing off of the challenge round of tihe Davis Cup contest to properly constituted delegates of an association,, the various associations comprising this council have lost confidence in the management committee as' such; that the whole of the correspondence passing between the Canterbury and the N.Z. Association foe placed before the Australasian Association; that the Management Committee having recommended to the Davis Cup Committee the place in New Zealand in which to play the challenge round of the Davis Cup contest, after having received an intimation from Canterbury Association that in its opinion this was a matter that should come before the N.Z. Association alone for decision, a special meeting of this Association be called at the earliest possible opportunity to fully consider the whole uestion; that the uestion of the locality in which the N.Z. championship meeting. i!)lO, shall 'be considered by the Council."
