SUGGESTED "VISIT FROM SOUTH AFRICAN TEAM. A general meeting of the New Zealand Cricket Council was held on Thursday, February 18th, at 8 p.m., when the following delegates were present:—Hon. E. C. J. Stevens (South Canterbury) (in the chair), Messrs. J. B. Beckett (Taranaki South), W. B. Bottrell (Marlborough), J. Young (Auckland), E. J. Austin (Otago), O. Caygill and D. Reese (Canterbury), F. H. Labatt (Hawke’s Bay), A. Hardy (Taranaki North), E. Harper (Nelson), J. H. Williams and C. Treweek (Wellington), G. T. Weston (Waira- rapa), R. Vincent (hon. treasurer), and F. C. Raphael (hon. secretary). In answer to the chairman the hon. treasurer (Mr. R. Vincent) stated that at present the Council’s overdraft was about £59; subscriptions outstanding, when re­ ceived, would reduce the balance to debit at the end of the current year to £34, as against £86 at the end of last year. A brief discussion took place on the sub­ ject of altering the rules to provide that Plunket Shield matches should be played out, but it was agreed to leave the matter over. Mr. G. T. Weston moved, Mr. Reese seconded, and it was agreed:—“ That the Management Committee be asked to con­ sider the rules governing the Plunket Shield matches, with a view to alterations if advisa­ ble, and that that Committee give the necessary notices of any proposed alterations to the Associations.” The hon. secretary (Mr. F. C. Raphael) referred to the possibility of a South African team visiting Australia next season or the following one, and mentioned that Messrs. H. D. Bell and Heathcote Williams, of Wellington, intended seeing the matches between the English team and the South African team in South Africa. It would, perhaps, be considered desirable by the Council to ask these gentlemen to make enquiries as to whether the South African team would include New Zealaud in their Australian tour. On the motion of Mr. J. Young, seconded by Mr. O. Caygill, it was decided That the secretary be requested to communicate direct with the South African cricket authori­ ties, and ascertain the terms upon which the team which is to visit Australia would extend their tour to New Zealand.” Messrs. Bell and Williams are to be asked to do what they can to further the proposal by discuss­ ing it with the South African cricket authorities. On the motion of Mr. Hardie, seconded by Mr. Weston, it was agreed: That the Management Committee consider the best method of dealing with the net proceeds of the Plunket Shield matches.” The mover suggested that the gate money, after expenses had been deducted, be divided, one-third each to the competing Associations, and one- third to the Council, but this was objected to, and the opinion was expressed that 5 per cent, of the proceeds, after deducting ex­ penses, would be sufficient for the Council. SOME CHAPTERS OF AUSTRALIAN CRICKET HISTORY. B y J. N. PENTELOW. C h a p te r II. NEW SOUTH WALES v. VICTORIA. (Continuedfrom page 6 U.) Victor Trumper played his first match against Victoria in the return at Sydney, having already appeared twice v. South Aus­ tralia, and once each v. England an i Queens­ land. Donnan (56) and Noble (56) added 82 for the second wicket of N.S.W.; and Gre­ gory made 72, the latter part of his innings, after 44, being a splendid performance on a wicket rendered very difficult by a day’s rain followed by a hot sun. The conditions suited Roche, who had six wickets for 88 in the innings, five of them for 36 on the bad wicket. Worrall was the one outstanding batsman for Victoria. He hit fearlessly for his 103, his first century in big cricket, and made his runs on a difficult wicket, in not much over two hours. McLeod (31) helped him to send up 72 before a wicket fell; and Stuckey (also 31) batted stolidly and well in the later part of the innings. Andy Newell had the splendid analysis of eight for 56 ; but the other bowlers did very poor work. With a lead of 86, N.S.W. failed
