The ultimate arrangement of the proposed itinerary, whilst not likely to be affected m the main, will be made known definitely later. On reviewing the itinerary, the committee suggested that as the Westland Association is prepared to guarantee the required amount for a match against the Australian team, they should take the place of the Southland Association on the itinerary. It was decided to recommend that the New Zealand Racing Calender should be consulted to see that there is no clashing of fixtures with race meetings. It was also decided to recommend th if necessary the teams > should not remain in Auckland after the.last match, but if the steamer arrangements are not suitable, the team should come to Wellington, and if necessary depart from there. The suggestions were adopted, and it was finally decided to place the matter of transport m the' hands of Thomas Cook and Sons in conjunction with the itinerary committee.
