To set against the above guarantees, the Board received from theWanderers’ Club a sumof £4,440 2s. 3d., being 75 per cent, of the nett gates taken at the four matches on the said club’s ground, and £118 12s. was received fromthe printer who undertook the printing and sale of the score cards in con­ nection with the M.C.C. matches (this being 50 per cent, of his nett profit). £79 6s. lid. was expended in sending Mr. John Reid to Cape Town to act as manager of the Transvaal players in the fourth and fifth Test matches, and in paying the ex­ penses of Messrs. C. E. Floquet andF. Bayes (of Grahamstown) to accompany the S.A. team to Cape Town, to practice with them and toact asreserves. A further£32 11s. 6d. was paid to Transvaal members of the S.A. team at Cape Town for out-of-pocket ex­ penses. A gross profit of £2,705 19s. 6d. was made on the M.C.C. matches at Johannesburg, out of which £606 5s. 9d. had to be paid to the S.A. Cricket Association, being 15 per cent, of nett profit onTransvaal XI. match, and 25 per cent, nett profit on Test matches as re­ quiredby the rules of the S.A.C.A., to which this Unionis affiliated. A sumof £50 was expended inpaying the travelling expenses of A. Handford, who was engaged last season to coach the local col­ leges and schools, thanks to the extreme generosityof the chairman, Mr. Abe Bailey, who donated £150 to the Union to pay the salary of the schools’ coach. Handford did very goodwork, and the Board regret that he declinedre-engagementforthecomingseason. Mr. Bailey has most kindly promised to pay the salary of another coach for this sea­ son, and the Board havelately cabledtoCapt. E. Gr. Wynyard, at Lord’s, asking him to engage a suitable man on the same terms as Handford. C urrie C up T ournament , 1906-7. It has been arranged that this shall be played at Johannesburg during the Christ­ mas and New Year holidays next coming, andno doubt the playerswill practice hard to maintain their recent high standard and invincibility in these contests. V is it o f a South A fric a n T eam to E n g la n d in 1907. This hasbeendecideduponbytheS.A.C.A., and the fixtures are nowin course of arrange­ ment. No doubt Transvaal players will endeavourto secureasmanyplaces as possible in the team, and it will be the care of the Board to raise funds to provide this Union’s share of the total guarantee which will no doubt be raised by the S.A.C.A., to defray the expenses of the said team. C olours . The Board has adopted a cap of Oxford blue, with the letters T.C.U. in monogram in gold cord on the front, as the colours of the Union, and sample caps of these colours are nowunder order. The Boardhas resolved that caps as above shall bepresented to all cricketers who have played for the Tranvaal in representative matches since the 1st January, 1902. T rustees of the U n ion . Inviewof theincreased assets andproperty of the Union, the Board suggests that the time has arrived for the appointment of Trustees of the Union, and recommends that Messrs. Abe Bailey and John Reid be appointed the first Trustees of the Union, and that the necessaryTrust Deed, &c., be drawn up. P roposed U m pire s ’ A ssociation . The Boardhas discussedthis question, and are of opinion that suchanAssociation should be formed, and they urge that this matter be taken in handby the newBoard. B usiness of the B o a r d . During the year under review the Board has held twenty ordinary and special meet­ ings, as well as several sub-committee meet­ ings.
