HOROWHENUA RUGBY UNION.

TUESDAY'S MEETING. The Management- Committee of the Horowhenna Rugby Union held a special meeting on Tuesday evening when the chairman (Mr. J. Procter) presided over a full meeting. Before proceeding with the business of the meeting, on the motion of Mr. T. Wriglev, a motion of condolence with Mrs Massey, and the. relatives of the late Prime Minister, was passed in silence, all standing. It was decided to notify the Maori College, Otaki, that they must register their team under their own name, and not as an Otaki third grade team as at present. As the result of a notification from the gatekeeper of the Otaki football ground to the effect that the Otaki Chamber of Commerce held that a proportion of gate takings should be donated to the hockey club, it was decided to write to the Chamber informing them that the Union was carrying on under the arrangement as made with the old Council until other arrangements were made with the new council. Mr J. Beddinglon, donor of the Beddington Shield, attended the meeting an recommended that Dannevirke be included in the unions entitled to compete for this trophy, in the place of Manawatu, which had not, since the Shield was donated, availed themselves of the opportunity of competing. This was agreed to. It was decided that all Clubs be notified of the N.Z.R.U.’s rule that the placer of a ball in the case of a free-kick, may take the kick. It was decided that no action he taken in the case of the applieation of the Miranni Club for the reinstatement of Eagle and Hommingsen to the status of junior. On the motion of Mr Wrigley, seconded by Mr Robertshaw, it was decided to write to the secretary of the N.Z.R.U. asking if it is not an error that Wellington is included in the game against N.S.W., as this fixture "was allotted to Horowhen-ua-Manawatu at the annual general meeting.
