' DAVIS CUP CONDITIONS. ; From a cablo message received locally it would .'seem that the conference between New Zealand and Australian lawn tonnis authorities had ended satisfactorily/ So long as the Davis Cup is hold by Australasia, New Zealand -will bo an entity on tho Australasian Association with extra representation on the council, and. while the cup is hold by/ tho association tho contest iriU be hold in ■ New Zealand every third, year. This is taken to mean that next year's contest will ,be fought but ' on New Zealand soil. '
