A proposal that the club enter the junior grade and take part in the association matches. If allowed to play half the games on their own around, was negatived, and it was decided to play matches as hitherto. It was generally agreed that moro enjoyment resulted from this course than in participating in the association fixtures. The captain (Mr C. H. S.
