The committee were instructed to make immediate enquiries with regard to playing grounds and to keep in view the provision of a practice pitch on Victoria Park, or. if this ground is unfit for play, to arrange for a pitch on the A. and P. show grounds. The following offers of donations were received: Mr. A. A. Thompson, two halfguinea trophies or one one guinea trophy; Mr. S.

Trotter it was decided to approach the Borough Council asking them to provide some kind of shelter on Victoria Park for the stowing of equipment. A suggestion by Mr. Mcl. Young that the school committee be approached with a view to securing a room at the school for dressing during matches on the park, was adopted. The opening day was fixed for October 12. It was decided that Mr. Thompsons donation be used as a guinea trophy for the best field, and that any further donations be left to the committee for disposal. The secretary was ‘instructed to write thanking the donors. The chairman was accorded a vote of thanks for presiding. FELLOWSHIP OF TRINITY COLLEGE. Miss Gertrude Bredow, who has gained the Fellowship of Tfinity College, played the following programme in her examination: —Bach. Suite Franca’se No. 6; Beethoven. Sonata Op 109; Brahms, Ballad No. 1 (memory); Liszt, Mephisto Waltz. In reference to Miss Bredow’s performance the examiner remarked: “The candidate played this programme in a highly finished manner, displaying a sure technique which enabled her to overcome the many difficulties with ease. The playing of the Bach suite was particularly fine. She is greatly to be commended.” GENERAL ITEMS. At the annual meeting of the Strat- j ford Cricket Club last night the ques- | tion of grounds was discussed, a member suggesting that the Borough Council should be approached with the object of having a concrete pitch laid down on Victoria Park. It was considered that this proposition would meet with too much opposition. The hope was expressed that in carrying out the improvement scheme in the park the council would not overlook the provision of a cricket pitch, which, it was thought, had a claim a.s well as football. Lively interest and enthusiasm was displayed in matters of importance to cricket at last night’s annual meeting of the Stratford Club. Tn view of the prospective visit of McLaren’s team to Taranaki players were advised to secure all possible practice so that they might make a creditable showing when pitted against the English team.
