WELLINGTON ASSOCIATION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Wellington Cricket Association to-nigiit declined to support the Otago Association in the latter’s advocacy that the refund of the difference between the actual costs ot’ the Australian cricketers’ tour last season and the amount guaranteed by the various associations should be made. Replying to a query of Canterbury, the meeting agreed to the broad principle of the Christchurch City and Suburban Association coming under the control of the major body. NORTH TARANAKI COMPETITION.
