TUAKAU.

A meeting of the Management Committee of the Raglan Union was held in the Tuakau Hotel on Wednesday evening to consider the protest entered by the Onewhero team against Tuakau. The Onewhero team complained that Tuakau's winning try \vas scored 15 minutes after " no-side " should have been called. Full evidence was taken and after a lengthy discussion the protest was dismissed on the casting vote of the Chairman. Mr J. Pirrott, referee of the United v. Kohanga, reported having to order a Kohonga player off the field ; this punishment, he thought, would be sufficient. The meeting adopted the referee's suggestion. Mr T. Geraghty, who has been for the past two years employed by the NZ. Railways here, has received notice of transfer to the Helensville section and leaves Tuakau in a fortnight's time.
