The Victorian and New South Wales members of the Board .bought over the Queensland representatives, and met in caucus before the meeting to decide what was to be done. It was not true that the players were working secretlv with the Melbourne Club. A resolution was carried that Mr. McKlhone be asked to resign the chairmanship of the Board, as he had not the confidence of the cricket-supporting public and players, and his presence was a hindrance to an amicable settlement of the dispute. Other motions similar to those passed in Melbourne were carried.
