MORE MANAWATU ALLEGATIONS. A MATTER FOR ENQUIRY. I Palmerston North, Last Night. With reference to a message from Stratford in which the secretary ot the Taranaki Rugby Union endeavoured to cover the neglect of the Manawatu football reps, by 'his Union and denies that the team was specially invited in connection with the Dominion Show, the president of the Manawatu Union publishes the following letter:— Taranaki Rugby Football Union, Stratford, June 10.—The Hon. Secy., Manawatu Rugby Union, Palmerston North,—! have been requested by my committee to as'k if your Union will send its representative team to meet our team on 14th July at HaWera. The Hawera people are holding a winter show during that week, and have approached niy \ Union with the object of having a repreI sentative football match played on one of the show days. Kindly let me know soon aa pouible, and oblige (signed) Philip Skogluind, hon, sec. Mr, Hokn, president of the local union, adds that to meet this express] invitation, Manawatu altered its ar-i rangements and sent a team at some inconvenience to oblige the Taranaki Union and the Show Commtttee, ootli of which completely ignored the visitors, of whose treatment the least said the better. The Manawatu Union has made out a strong case, and evidently has reason l o complain of the treatment meted out to it by the Taranaki Union, a fuller' explanation of whose conduct in respect to their guests will be awaited by all supporters of the game with interest. | Evidently someone had blundered, and i blundered badly.—Ed.
