At the weekly meeting of the A.F.A. exeeutivc last night it was decided that the final of the senior championship between V.M.C.A. and Harbour Board be played next Saturday on the main ground at the Domain. The New Zealand Council intimated ithat the semi-flnal ot the Chatham Cup would be played at Auckland on August :SO. and the final in Wellington on September 6.

An offer for three matches in New Zealand by the Canadian team from the Australian Council was announced from headquarters, but as the terms hud been for a 5o per cent share of the gross gate takiugs to go to the Australian Council the offer hail been declined, ahd a counter-offer made Suggesting that the Australian Council accept 50 per sent of the net „ate takings. , 4 Sliest from Palmerston North for a definite date for a match there against the touring Auckland team was discussed aud it was agreed that the game could not be tZf T' 1 s f e P tea ?ber.

After their reception on the wharf the Chinese touring team were motored to their headquarters, the Empire Hotel. A reception was extended by the Mayor of Wellingfton and Ministers of the Crown. The team had. a. practice at Kelburn Park, but was feeling the effects of the voyage. The goalkeeper, a sound custodian, shaped well. The outside right, a fine hooker, centres brilliantly, and the centre-forward shoots hard and low, a good i shot. The centre half is a clever, experienced player. and knows the game thoroughly. Judging from the practice the team will give some excellent displays. It is regarded as a superiors team to that j which visited Australia last year.
