Ball stated that most of the playing areas were in poor condition, and that little improvement could be expected this year unless there was a change in tho weather. Two of the grounds were m a deplorable state, one of which was on the Oval and the other the Mornington area. An improvement, however, had been effected at tho Oval by making only two playing areas instead of three, and with regard to Tonga Park, ho suggested the shifting of the goal posts, as .discussed with the caretaker, would help considerably. Mr Ball was thanked for his report, and tho secretary was instructed to arrange for the alterations to the ground at Tonga Park, SATURDAY’S MATCHES. First Division— Mosgiel v.
