A meeting of the management committee of, the Horowhenun. Rugby Union was held on Tuesday evening, Mr J. AA r . Procter presiding. Other members present were: Messrs T. Wehipcihana, M. Suhan, and W. AVehipeihana (secretary). Mr A\ T . .AViniata, selector to the Union, wrote resigning his position, his reason being that on the occasion of a bereavement, in his family recently, the Union decided, as a tribute of respect, to postpone the senior match, Wanderers v. Shannon. At a subsequent meeting of the union, how - over, it decided to award the match io Shannon by default, which action, the writer stated, showed a want of consideration and respect, and he therefore resigned. The Chairman stated that he considered the committee had made a mistake. Under the circumstances the committee had the power to postpone j the match in question, and should have done so. On the motion of Alt' Sultan, it was, decided that a deputation from the committee wait on Mr AViniata and ask him to reconsider his decision. Trial Rep. Match.
