At a meeting of the Otago Cricket Association to-night to discuss the match between Otago and Auckland. The president (Mr." C. R. Smith) called on Mr. T. T. Ritchie (manager) and Mr. C. G. M 7 ilson (captain of'the Otago tefim) for a report. Mr. Ritchie stated he had given the Auckland Association to understand that the Otago team hail not come 800 miles to play a drawn game. After the toss he and the captain Intel view - ed the Aueldland captnin and made it quite clear that the game was on no account to be drawn. If Auckland wanted a- few Otago "w one cl not- raise objections as to time, panel expected similar treatment from Auckland. . Tihev both left and believed the mutter to be adjusted, but Auckland would not allow the match to he played out, and insisted on drawing stumps at 6 o'clock. The Association evidently didn’t recognise the captains in the matter. The president could find nothing in the rules referring "to a draw, and concluded that the framers of the rules had never contemplated such'a thing. By not informing the Auckland Association that they had authorised the captain land manager to act in the matter at tho time they had .placed themselves out of court a,- far ns an appeal was concerned. Air. Wilson said that, believing that everything would go smoothly, be bad given way in the matter of the a fternoon adjournment. It was resolved that' a. report bo drawn up by the cap Hi in, manager, and president, and that the Council be asked to take such stops as would be required in the way of collecting information.
