CRICKET.
VISIT OF AN ENGLISH TEAM.
CHRISTGHURCH, Monday,
At a meeting of the New Zealand Cricket Council the question. of a team of English amateurs visiting New Zealand was considered. It was resolved that in. case of loss in the New Zealand match the associations be asked to bear the cost proportionately, any profit to be divided. The secretary was instructed to write to Lord IlSJke informing him that there is every prospect of the proposed _ trip bp; n°- satisfactorily arranged.

\ rather curious position has arisen in regard to the action of the Canterbury College Board of Governors v leading section 2254 and the medical school reaves at Westfield. Two tenders were received, one from Mr F De C. Malet, executor of the late Archdeacon Wilson, and the other from Mr C. Harper- Mr Harpers tender was a half-penny higher than the other one, but the Board accepted the lower tender. The Act, which cives the. Board power to lease its lands, provides that the rent shall be the best obtainable. Mr Harper, therefore, is claiming that as he was the highest tenderer the Board must accept his tender or none. Meanwhile Mr Malet has entered into possession. Ihe Board has received a lawyer's letter from both the successful "and unsuccessful tenderers, threatening action. It has decided, on reconsideration, to adhere to the first decision in favour of Mr Malet. It is likely, therefore, that a case will come before the Supreme Court.
