The proposed visit of the Maori team to Australia came before the management committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union last evening. It appears that there is some trouble with the Queensland Union over the expenses of members being made a second charge on gate receipts. The New South Wales Union wrote respecting the terms of the Maori team’s visit to Australia that there had been a slight hitch in regard to the Brisbane match. The Queensland Union did not agree to the expenses of the whole party of Maoris being charged at a second charge on the gate receipts. The union pointed out that in 1910 the party, including some ladies, numbered nearly 30, and on this occasion they would only agree to the expenses of 21 being a second charge on the gate receipts. The match against the Western Districts on June 25th would be played at Bathurst. It was decided to defer consideration until a reply was received from Mr Parata.
