VISIT OF M.C.C. TEAM

CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.

The New Zealand Cricket Council announced today that the following selectors had been appointed to choose the New Zealand teams for the coming matches against the M.C.C. team: Messrs. H. B. Whitta, Canterbury (convener); N. C. Snedden, Auckland; T. C. Lowry. Rangitikei; and J. C. McMullan, Otago.

HUTT VALLEY MATCHES

Wellington match, said he thought that the Wellington Cricket Association would appreciate a postponement on that date in preference to the date allotted for the Test match to be played in Wellington. Mr. C. Wrack agreed with Mr. Boult's remarks concerning the choice of matches.

Mr. Wrack made it clear that in the event of the match having to be postponed on that date all the H.V.C.A. Association's matches would be.played. The motion was carried.

The secretary, Mr. H. N. Jones, reported that Mr. J. T. Matthews had forwarded to him a set of caps which were to be given to the players chosen to represent the H.V.C.A. in its match with the Wellington Mercantile League. Mr. Matthews's generous gift was accepted with thanks, and a decision to have his services recorded in the minutes were unanimously agreed upon.
