Davis Cup Matches. TO BE PLAYED IN CHRISTCHURCH. O/ F SPECIAL meeting of the New y | Zealand Lawn Tennis Associax J tion was held last week to decide the location of the Davis Cup contest for 1911. Mr C. J. W. Griffiths, president of the association, occupied the chair. The meeting first decided, by 31 votes to 18, after a brief discussion, that the New Zealand championships be held at the same time ami place as the Davis cup contest. Mr. W. Goss (Canterbury) moved that the Australasian Association be recommended to fix Christchurch as the pla»ce at which the Davis cup matches for 1911 should be played. Mr. W. J. Organ (Wellington) moved an amendment in favour of Wellington. There was no discussion on either motion or amendment, delegates apparently being satisfied that all possible arguments had already been advanced. The amendment was rejected, and the motion carried by 34 votes to 15. The following committee was appointed to make arrangements for the contest:—Messrs. E. J. Ross (convener), R. D. Harman, A. F. Wright, C. T. Aschman, E. J. Taylor, W. Goss, P. H. Cox, C. J. W. Griffiths, and (as ex-officio members) the presidents of the New Zealand Association and the Wellington, Canterbury, Auckland, and Otago Associations. Mr. Organ congratulated Canterbury on the result of the voting, and said that the Wellington Association would do its best to make the tournament successful.
