CHATHAM CUP COMPETITION A letter was received from the New Zealand Council respecting the withdrawal of Mosgiel from the Chatham Cup competition and advising that the council had decided to let the fixtures stand as at first arranged. Mr J. Simpson remarked that the reply was unsatisfactory, the council having evaded the question as to whether it regarded Westland as part of the Canterbury district. This point was made.perfectly clear in the letter forwarded to the council, stated Mr Simpson, and it was decided to write a further letter to the council on the point raised.
