'At to-night's meeting of .the New Zealand Cricket Council a letter was read from Lord Hawke, saying that lie had found great in getting a purely amateur team, especially in regard to bowlers. Ho suggested that lie should be authorised to include two professionals at £100 each, beside? expenses. Lordf Hawke said he had proposed! there should be thirteen players in the team. He. expected to get C. J. Burnip, T. L. Taylor, IS r. P. Druce, A. R. Miller i(Wilte), J. R, Head (Middlesex), and Bromley Davenport. Referring to the proposal from Major Wardell for a. visit of the Australian team, Lord Hawke said lie hoped it would be arranged because, with such difficulties to meet, his team might fall through. The Council resolved if Lord Hawke could not get a purel aniarteur team ac should be authorised t|o> engage two- professionals on the terms suggested. The Council also resolved they could not entertain. t;he suggestion of the Australian visit.
