The team would arrive irom Auckland on 4th January. . In a letter to the association the secretary (Mr. R. S. Johnston), who had left on a visit to Dunedin, suggested that the senior match likely to provide the- best contest each Saturday should _be played on the Basin Reserve, and that the association should make a, charge for admission, as by not doing so it was. losing at least £10 each Saturday.—lt was decided to make a charge, commencing with the Midland v. Wellington match in the fourth round, and commencing on 26th November. The question of a competition to decide the premier club in all grades for the season was discussed, and the following motion by Mr. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Baker, was carried :—"That in addition to the ordinary championship a club championship be instituted, to be awarded to the club having the highest aggregate of points for matches won in all competitions, points to be as follow: Senior, multiplied by ♦; junior, multiplied by 3;. third grade, multiplied by 1; fourth (trade, divided by 2. Points deducted for matches lost shall not be taken into consideration in computing points for the club championship." ' Senior fixtures for Saturday next were drawn as follow:—Thorndon v.
