Several resignations were accept od with regret, and eleven new members were elected.

The date of the opening of the courts was left to the committee. The secretary was instructed to make a donation of a certain number of used halls to each of the schools.

The present unsatisfactory locality of the courts was fully discussed. Many adverse conditions prevailed which made the courts unsuitable, and before long a large sum would have to be spent to put them in order.

Mr Carthew said that it was very necessary 'that the incoming committee should take the matter in hand and investigate with a view to a more suitable position. The question had heen considered previously, and he thought the present time opportune to carry out any decision the meeting may arrive at". It was agreed that' a- special coM' mittee, consisting of the President, | Vice-President and Mr Tomlinson, be leat up to submit a report on the question.
