He had been connected with the league for some years. It was decided to place on record the good work done by Mr. Bell for the boys of Wellington.
Rule 25 was altered to read "senior to intermediate pitches shall be 22 yards, and junior pitches 20 yards." "intermediate pitches have been 20 yards long previous}-. During the season the Wellington representative teams journeyed to Chrißtchurch to play the annual matches with Canterbury. A concert was held in the Town Hall to raise funds for the trip, etc., and a profit was made,' which was nearly sufficient to meet the expenses of the trip. The league's thanks were due to the artists who assisted and to those who helped -in other ways to make the concert a success.
Votes of thanks were passed to the Press and the City Council for their attention and assistance during the past Beason.
