New Zealand University Cricket Council.

Early in the season Mr. J. Carrad suggested forming a N.Z. University Cricket Council, the main objects of which would be to arrange and control N.Z.U. Cricket matches, arrange for the selection of N.Z.U. teams, and recommend for the award of "blues.' Steps were taken to ascertain the opinion of the other Universities on, the scheme, and Otago, Canterbury, and Auckland were enthusiastic. A Conference was arranged during Tournament week and a draft constitution was drawn up. Certain matters have still to be decided but it is hoped that the Council will be formed during this season. The team selected will probably not play at first, but the day is not so very far distant when games both in New Zealand and abroad will be arranged.

The Club has to thank its Patron, Professor Mackenzie, and its Vice-Presidents for their interest and assistance, and particularly its President Mr. Cornish for hiring the Buckle Street Drill Hall last season for some invaluable practice before the grounds were opened.
