South match, open to all associations. The Marlborough Association wrote asking Wairarapa to play at Blenheim on December 25 and 26. It ■was decided to reply that this association would be unable to comply with the request. The New Zealand Council wrote asking what was this association's opinion on the way the Lord Hawke Shield should be allotted, and after the matter being gone into thoroughly it was decided to suggest that balloting be adopted.
