The chairman stated that,thera was a possibility ef a coioblaad tears playing the New- Zealand totuiag team early next month, and it may be as well to hoH ever tha Wellington lettar till next meeting in event ot something coming out of she match with the New Zealand team. —This was aflfreed to. Mr Carmichael was appointed manager of the Horowhenua team to visit Ha-ogitikei next Wednesday, and Mr Desmond coach-

Mr Whibley moved, in accord&Bcs with notice, tha*. the Wanganui match set down for Levin be cancelled. He stated that he moved the motion r.irh the idea of having tho game played at Foxton. The Manawatu rastch wa*

understood to have been played at Tot. ton-, but was later changed to Levia, and it was only fair Foxton should gt'araother rep. game—either Wangacui or Wairarapa would do. Fe.ta.er Yibaud

seconded. The said tb« TJni»n should go where it could get the beat ga.t«*.

Mr Whibley considered if that wta bo, both Foaton and Shannon should ha taken into account. Shannon had, ia fa«+, b«a</ns -the Levin g«.te records.

Members did not consider it advisable to go away from the natural ceii tre, Levin, where good gates had aiwar- been obtasnr-d.

Mr Whibley stated if Fozton did a*i get • rep. game there would be mush disappointment; a»d there may be other octi*a t&jcen.

2£f Dixsrn isoved tm amsadxaoß*, -That all i#p. matches be played Jo Levin.

This was seconded by Mr Be van, atd carried.

3fr Whibley thereupon laid that stw'r. treatment might lead to Foxton, and possibly Shannon, breaking away froa« Horowheao*.
