WELLINGTON ASSOCIATION. The management committee of the Wellington Cricket Association met last evening. Present —Messrs M. Luokie (chairman), Crombie, Willis, Bay, Hood, Midlane, Fanning and Vance, secretary. The Canterbury Cricket Association wrote stating that they had accepted Otago's challenge for the Plnnket Shield, to be played at Easter, as this challenge was received prior to tho Wellington challenge. A further reason that guided the committee in coming to this decision was that the Otago Association had given a guarantee that the proposed match at Easter would not imperil the proposed scheme of interprovincial matches as agreed upon at the conference held in Wellington in July last.
