The Brodie-Boreham Match.
The following draft of agreement for the above match submitted by Mr L. M'Lean Shaw (acting for Mr Brodie) has been agreed to by Mr S. Boreham (acting for Mr J. A. Boreham), except as regards the amount allowed for expenses. As %5 has been offered to Mr Brodie for expenses if the match be played here, Mr Boreham thinks it only reasonable that a similar amount should be allowed if the match is to be played in Dunedin. This point will, doubtless, however, be amicably settled. DRAFT OF AGREEMENT. "1. The match to consist of 24 games, draws and wins to count, and to be played in Dunedin, Otago, N.Z. "2.
