OTAHTJHU C.A. UMPIRES.

At the second annual meeting of the Ofhhuhu Umpires' Association, held last evening, the chairman. Mr. W. Beck, expressed great satisfaction -with the result of last season's -work, and congratulated members on the progress the game had made in Otahuhu since the promotion of the cricket association some three years ago. This, he contended, was in no small measure due to the efficient and firm ruling of the umpires. The balance-sheet showed a small credit balance, with no liabilities.
