Hyder suggested that, instead of playing in Wellington, Ponsonhy should go to Dunedin, or Northern (Otago) should go to Auckland. ' Mr B. L.

One man bad been suspended until tbo end of (be season lor leaving the held without notifying Ibo referee. \notbcr placer, billowing (be awarded a penalty kick for a foul, used abusive lam'uar'o (o tho referee, and, when suspended for tho rest of tho season and tho first four Saturdays next season he was also very insulting to the committee. He was then suspended until ho apologises to tho committee, ami upon doing so, the original suspension will stand. These suspensions wore con li nned. 'The third case was that of a player walking off tho held in disgust without reference to the referee "using foul language m tho hearing of tho spectators, including several women, and on arming in the dressing shed continuing to use foul language in tho presence of schoolboys.
