Mr, Miller emphasised the great strides League football was making in the Dominion, particularly at Auckland, where the standard of play was becoming very high.

The itinerary Mr. Miller suggests for the Australian team is: V. South Island, at Christchurch; v. North Island, at Wellington; v. New Zealand, at Auckland; v. Auckland province, at Auckland; v.
