It was reported that there was, a- credit balance f ,112 7s over the Auckland tournament, while there was a small credit over the' visit of the southern • bowlers to Wellington. The alteration of the rules concerning the .amalgamation of the N.B.A. and the X.Z.B.A. was then, considered, and evoked a good deal of discussion. It was agreed that the championship should be held alternately in Dunedin, Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington; also that when it is held in Dunedin there shall be a tournament also in Wellington, and when the championship tournament is in Auckland there shall be a tournament in Christcliurch, and vice versa. The question as to several districts forming centres was then arranged. The clubs in the several centres were lixed as follows:—Auckland North £l, Auckland South 10, East Coast 9, Manawatu 7, Wairarapa 7, Wangnnni 9, Taranaki 11, and Wellington 17. The balance at the credit of the X.B.A. was stated at £250 9s 2d. It was decided to allot the sum of £75 to the new association as a nucleus of a fund for working expenses, the allocation of the balance .to be deferred until the next I meeting. I
