Prospects for the soccer code throughout New Zealand are unusually bright, according to the secretary of the New Zealand Football Association, who says that districts are being opened up where the game has hitherto been unknown. . An association has been formed at Nelson with five clubs, and efforts are afoot to link up the clubs in the Bay of Plenty districts. There should be 15 or 16 associations affiliated to the New Zealand Council this season. The annual meeting will probably consider terms for a visit of a Dominion team to Australia. CRICKET.
