Mr. A. Hamilton. The president (Mr. E. G. Morgan) referred with regret to the poor state of the association game in the metropolis, and sug-gested that overtures be made to the Queensland Association with a view to taking over the Chal-lenge and Charity Cups, and offering the same for

competition, until a revival of the game in Bris-bane warrants the resumption of regular fixtures there. It is most probable that this idea will be

acted upon. The committee confidently expect that tlie coming season will be very tusecss.ul. Minor details having been considered, the meeting
