D.A.A.C. PROTECTION ASSOCIATION. The. annual meeting of the Dunedin Amateur Athletic dob’s Protection Association was held on Saturday evening. In moving the annual' report (already published), Mr J. S. Hislop, the president, j said; Starting in a comparatively small way, wo are now able to deal with defixnltera throughout tho colony, as lists ore exchanged with similar associations in most of the large centres. We can, now stop from playing in the greater part of the colony those individuals whose ideas of sport are sash as would lead one to think that the primary object of their belonging to an athletic body is to try and remain, os long as passible in same without paying any subscription. Daring the pash year seventytwo names have teen before your Committee, and of these only nineterei hove paid up Mimnnf. owing by them. The other fifty-three have allowed themselves to be declared defaulters, and their names go to swell tho long list of players who, by no possible stretch of imagination, can be called “sports.” A real sport will stick to* his club when it is m difficulties, and do aD he can to help it to overcome them. We unfortunately bad an instance this year of the other tide of the picture, where, because of their dob not being able to give them their benefits for the full twelve months, a large number of members refused to pay more than half their subscription, and, as a result, their Committee's difficulties were increased, and the club will probably cease to exist next season. Mr M. Priest seconded the-motion for the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, which was carried without discussion. The Chairman said there was a notice of motion, from the Committee increasing the subscription to the Association from os to 10s. Tbs Committee bad considered this alteration, necessary owing to the increased work and consequent increase of expense. He moved in that direction- —-The motion wus seconded by Mr W- D, Hhelt on, and agreed to unanimously. The election of office-bearers resulted as follows; President, Mr J. S. Hislop; secretary and treasurer, Mr E. S. Wilson.; auditor, Mr N. Oliphant; committee— Messrs W. D. Shelton (cricket), M. Priest and M. L. Colgan (rowing), H. Harris (Rugby football), T. Scales (swimming), W. L. M'Cnrdy (athletics), and W. Fleming (Association football).

It was also resolved that the honorarium of the secretary (Mr E. S. WDbtin) be increased from 6 guineas to 10 gutaeas. ’Phi, desirableness of members attend lag the meetings of cinba wae urged, and it was decided that tho secretary write chibs bringing the benefits to be derived from the Association more prominently under notice.
