Wellington Association QUARTERLY MEETING ' The report of the Management Committee of the Wellington Lawn Tennis Association, which was presented at the quarterly meeting last night, stated that there was a 'substantial profit on the Easter tournament. A profit of £23/6/3 was made on the Wilding Shield match with Auckland. The interprovincial match with Wairarapa showed a loss of a few pounds. • “It is a matter of regret,” said the report, in conclusion, under the heading “Misconduct,” “that your management committee has to report that the Hutt clubs conducted a tournament at Easter contrary to the expressed wishes of your management committee.” A discussion on the Hutt clubs’ action took place in committee, when correspondence in connection with the question was tabled. It was 'decided to refer the question back to the management committee for further consideration, to bring down a report, and, if necessary, call a special meeting of the council. The Finances.
