The chairman congratulated the Albion Club on winning the shield. Looking back upon the season, although it had been a very disappointing one, the contest had been wonderfully interesting, and in view of the fact that up to practically the last hour of play the shield winners wore undecided, it might bo taken that the interest had been sustained right to the end. He was sure they were all agreed that Albion deserved their win, and he moved —“ That the Albion Club be congratulated on winning the championship for the season.”—The motion was carried. • The hon. secretary of the Carisbrook Cricket Club wrote stating that his committee wished to report an incident in the Second Grade A match on Saturday last between Carisbrook A and Dunedin.

At this time the Dunedin captain, stating that stumps should be drawn, led his team off the field, although the senior match was continued tijl 6.20 p.m. In view of these facts, Carisbrook felt that they should be credited with a first innings win. In any case, they would like the association’s ruling on the point.— After a discussion it was resolved to ask the Dunedin Club for an official report, the matter to be then referred to the Grade Committee to. decide. The Coach Committee submitted a report dealing with the activities of the association’s coach (Mr F. T. Badcock).
