Tbo final of the quarterly series of interclub matches between Otago and St. Clair to decide the holders of the 1 challenge cup for 1937 was interrupted ' by adverse weather conditions during play in the afternoon round for the singles matches, but the issue was already decided in favour of Otago' by their win of 3J games to 2£ in the foursomes.
