P.A; NEW PLYMOUTH, Sept 29.

This was the third day since the championships began on Sunday that unfavourable weather has caused a postponement. The members of the New Zealand" Ski Council held a ocnference with the Australian Ski Federation's representative and the non-playing captain of the Australian teanu, Mr R. G. Chisholm. Rules governing the contests between Australia and New Zealand are now being drawn up by both of the controlling sk ; bodies.
