Christmas Tour.

The Christmas touring team, with A. G. Wicks as Manager and B. A. Paetz as Captain, made the usual tour of the minor Associations, and played matches against Manawatu, Wanganui, South Taranaki and Rangitikei. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting the team away, with the result that it was not as strong as usual, one match being lost, while three were drawn. A very bright finish was staged at Wanganui, where 90 runs were scored in the last half-hour, at the end of which, when time was called, we required only four runs, with six wickets in hand, for an outright win.

Another team, composed of Junior members, also played two matches at Waipukurau.
