The following telegram was received by the Secretary of the Cadet Football team this morning from the United Football Club: “Union would not grant match. Writing.” This advice will ccmc as a surprise to the team chosen to go to Grey next Saturday, and tbe members will be very disappointed, particularly as all arrangements had been made and an assurance had been received from the Uniteds that the match would take pla.ee as arranged. It appears that there were still a numlier of fixtures to complete before any outside games were allowed, and tbe Rugby Union refused to forego any of these matches in favour of the Hokitika team. Probably a match- may ho arranged sunie- time next season, but the present fixture is definitely off. Just landed a consignment- of 200 eases of Stunner and cooking apples.
