They must return cither by tho Monowai leaving Dunedin on March 12 or (ho Waikaro on March 19, arriving in Melbourne on either March 18 or 25. The committee framed tho programme on the assumption that the latter date would ho accepted. It was reported that guarantees had been received from seven associations, but owing to the intermittent steamer arrangements, it would ho impossible to plav morn than five associations if the New Zealand match was to be played, which the committee thought should be done. Tho commit lee therefore submitted two programmes, the only difference being that either tho Nelson or the Wanganui match must be abandoned. The first programme, via Wanganui, is as follows:—I lay Auckland February 15, 16, and 17; Wanganui, February 21 and 22: Wellington, February 24, 26, and 27; Canterbury, March 2, 3. and 5; Otago, March 9, 10, and 12; New Zealand, at Christehurch, March 15. 16. and 17; leaving by steamer at the close, of the match. Second programme, via Nelson:—Plav Auckland February 15, 16, and 17; Wellington. February 22, 23. and 24; Nelson. February 26. 27. and 28; Canterbury, March 3, 5. and 6: Otago and New Zealand matches as arranged in first programme. The report was adopted, and it was decided to forward it to the Melbourne team in order that Ihev might choose which programme (hey thought best.
