O’Brien, who is leaving Auckland, members expressed great appreciation of the work he/had done for Rugby generally, and in his position as treasurer partij cularly. Mr. A. J. Billington was appointed treasurer. In response to an invitation from j the Auckland Agricultural and Pas- ! toral Ajjsociation, Messrs. Maben, | Kronfeld, Tilly, Belcher and the union’s solicitor were appointed to meet mem- | bers of th© association on Friday to discuss questions dealing with the Show Grounds lease and general conditions.
