THE WELLINGTON CLUB.

A committee meeting of the above club was held on the 2nd instant, when Mr. A. W. Gyles was appointed a member <$f the New Zealand Adjudication Board to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation (due to unsatisfactory health) of Mr. R. J. Barnes. ' A letter from the Otago Chesa Club suggested that -the annual telegraphic match be played on the 3rd and 10th September. It was decided to accept these dates subject to a wire being available. The club's B team (from which the club's first eight players are barred) plays thei Ngaio Club a fifteen-aside match on Saturday next, commencing at 7 p.m. Owing to the cut that has been made in the railway time-table it will be necessary to start the match an hour earlier than usual.
