The Association strongly urged the referees to keep down unnecessary talking on the field, and players should please note this and make the referee’s task as easy as possible.

The affiliation fee for the men’s team was fixed *at £1 Is and a ground fee of 3s 6d per team for each match.

It was decided that all players must be financial on or before July 4, the secretary of each club to report to the Association any unfinancial member after July 4. As a ladies’ tournament will probably be held this year, lady players should roll up to practices and matches, for, judging by tlie number of players this year, there should be keen competition for representative honors.
