Mr. Hardy spoke, in complimentary terms of those in charge of the subassoeiatipns, who were performing excellent work for the association. He also stated that Mr. B. W. Griffiths and himself had made a tour of- the following clubs during the week-end :—Kumeu, Waimauku, Woodhill, Helensville, Kaukapakapa, Waikoukou. These, together with Hobsonville, joined together this season and formed the Kalpara sub-association, which , had. affiliated with Auckland. Competition matches were in progress at all courts, and the standard of play was quite high. The large attendances testified to the popularity of the game in the northern districts.
