Mr. McLeod reported that the concert held in New Plymouth at short | notice in aid of the above fund had 1 realised £O. Shortly another concertl would be held in New Plymouth.

Malone, Cargill and Skoglund were appointed. SATURDAY FOOTBALL. The question of the Saturday Football Association in New Plymouth affiliating with the Taranaki Rugby Union was discussed in all its bearings, a deputation being present from the association.
