The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The report of the executive committee, con­ sisting of Lord Harris and Mr. G. Marsham, was then considered. The committee an­ nounced that Mr. M. P. Betts had consented to undertake the secretarial duties previously carried out by his lordship, and recommended that his name be added to the committee of management. They further suggested the desirability of giving olubs on whose ground the county matches are played a share (ac­ cording to a scale) in any profit that may re­ sult therefrom. They also proposed to amend the rules with reference to the privileges of subscribers. The report was unanimously adopted. It was decided that in the match at Becken­ ham on July 7, between the Players of the North and South, the winning professionals should receive £7 each, and the losing £6 each.
