CRICKET.

OTAGO ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the Otago Cricket Association was held'on Saturday .night, in the. office of the secretary (Mr E. ,S. Wilson). The president, Mr Crosby Mor.ris, occupied the chair, and there were also present Messrs A. Martin, J. Ramsden, C. Todd, J. J. Clark, li. Joel. A. Alloo,’J. Robson. W.. Rowland, G. Wycherley,' A’. Gollond, and'Gi Restieaux. Mr W. Windsor, treasurer of the New Zealand Cricket Association, and a delegate of the Otago Cricket Association on that , body, also attended the meeting. The Chairman said that the reason they were meeting that night whs because they hed heard that Mr Windsor would Jie in Dunedin, and it was considered desirable that they shoiild. have an opportunity of meeting him. He would at once like to take the opportunity of thanking their delegates —Messrs Windsor, and Peake —for the work" they had done for the Otago Association on the Cricket Council. At the ■ present time there was something of a' dispute regarding the guarantee given by the Otago Association in connection with the tour of the Australian team last year. The finances of the Otago Association had been in a very bad state for some years. They had had a. debit of £SOO, but by eoonoipy in the working of the Otago Association and by the support received from their citizens, they had been! enabled to reduce the debit, and had wound up last season with a debit of leas than £IOO. Their association felt very strongly that if they had not had to furnish more than the absolutely necessary guarantee, their financial position would have been very much better. The New Zealand Council had obtained gmrafiteba amounting to £2300, whereas the total expenses amounted to only £IBOO. That meant that, the council must have over-estimated the expenses. The- council, therefore, hod made a certain profit of £4OO or £SOO without incurring any risk whatever. The Otago Association maintained that it was the duty of the council to refund to the various associations, pro rata, v the amount not required in the guarantee. They. had -certainly given, their delegates a free hand, but they did think that ' they would have supported the two other associations—Ashburton and Mahawatu—who were opposed to the action of the council in refusing to refund any of the guarantee not actually' required. Theythought that their delegates might have done a littlemore in their interests. He did not want the - delegates, however, to take his remarks as a. vote of censure. Their association. had not desired the delegates to oppose the action of the council if they considered such opposition would be futile. Continuing, the chßiirnWFsaid that another point, was. that;,although .; they considered..-it Wah very , advantageous %i.. the Cricket Council to have a fund at its disposal, they also considered it was just as necessary for the local associations to have a sound financial position. . , •

Mr Robson said lie was quite sure that they were- not there to slate their delegatee.— (“Hear, hear.’’) One .point was .that they had been given special terms by the . Otago Rugby)Football .'Union -for the use of- the’ Oarisbrook Ground. They might find that in future the Otago , Union would not prepared to give, such, special terms “as they bad done in connection with' the Australian tour.

The Chairman said that Otago had guaranteed £3OO. The match in Dunedin against the Australians had certainly showed a profit of £lO, but had-, they had to pay dheifull rent for Carisbrobk':,there would have been ft loss, and their local guarantors would have had to pay that' loss. Mr Howland.’said that hd was sure the Otago Association would be prepared to accept £2OO and say no more about it.— (Laughter.) Mr Windsor said that although he was their delegate on the, council, he was also its treasurer,, and . he would like his explanation to be taken in committee—he would then be able to speak more freely. Mr Clark said ‘ that it was unfortunate that Mr Windsor could not, see his w’ay to make his statement public. It> seemed quite impossible that any feasible explanation could be given. If Mr Windsor, however, was not prepared to make his explanation public he would move that they go into committee. . The motion was carried, and Mr Windsor then made his statement. Mr Windsor having made his explanation, Mr Clark moved—" That this association thanks Mr Windsor his his attendance, and for his explanation of the expenses in connection with tho > Australian tour, but it adheres to the opinion expressed in previous letters to the council regarding the balance of the funds accumulated "as a result of the tour.’’ ' Mr Todd seconded v the motion, which was carried unanimously. GENERAL. It was decided to thank Mr C. P. M. Butterworth for his gift of a photograph of tho Otago team which had played against Canterbury at Hagley Park on February 7 and 8, 1867, and which had won the match by an innings and 37 runs. Tho chairman stated that he had not yet been able to’ discover the names of all of the' players. Mr Alloo agreed to make inquiries to see if a team could be raised to meet a boys’ team from Christchurch next month, The Christchurch team will be-under 16 years of age'. Mr Alloo will report his finding to the meeting of the Otago Association on Thursday night.’
