PAEROA RUGBY UNION.

A meeting of the committee of the

Paeroa Rugby Union was held on Wednesday evening, the members present being Messrs Bush (chairman), Vuglar, Menzies, Evitt and Walmsley (secretary). It was decided that the cup matches start on Saturday, 22nd inst, when Netherton and East will play. Mr P. Brenan was appointed referee for the match. Several players were registered lor the various clubs. Tucker, Gordon (2), and Timmins* were registered for East, and T. C. Pennell for West. A number of other players were also registered, but the-matter ot allotting them to the different clubs was deterred.

Messrs W. Moore and W. H. Anderson were elected life members of the union. It was decided to have a competition for schoolboys this year. It was decided to set apart the proceeds from one afternoon's matches to assist the South Auckland Rugby Union, this step being taken by nearly all the unions affiliated, directly or indirectly, with .the South Auckland Union.

At the last meeting of the Goldfields Rugby Union, on the motion of Karangahake delegates, it was decided that sub-unions should confer with a view of adopting some scheme to assist funds of South Auckland Union. The Waihi delegates proposed that Goldfields Union be disbanded, and sub-unions affiliate direct with South Auckland Union. This motion was lost on the voices, only the Waihi delegates supporting it.
