CRICKET CLUB ANNIVERSARY MEETING. At the annual meeting of the Martinborough Cricket Club the president, Mr W. B. Martin, was in the chair. The report disclosed a credit on the year’s working of £9. Mention was made of the purchase of the shed from the Girls’ Club and the financial assistance therewith from Mr N. Prussing, to whom the thanks of the Club were due. To their president the Club was deeply indebted for arranging a mortgage and lease with the trustees and also for his continued assistance in rhany wavs. Regret was expressed at the loss of Messrs A.

Murphy, J. Flynn, T. Grant, J. Power, T. Scott; delegates to Association, Messrs Power and Scott; secretary and treasurer, Mr C. Johns (unanimously re-elected).

Martin offered to loan the fencing.
