THE RUGBY UNION.

ONLY ONE ISLAND MATCH. SOUTHERN PROPOSAL LOST. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At a meeting of the Management Committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union to-night, Mr. Jones moved that in view of the special circumstances an additional North v. South Island match be played at Chrisrehurch on June 23. Mr. Jones said that practically every member of the committee had voted for the match in Wellington against his convictions, because the majority of inter-island matches in the last' few years had been played in Wellington. The additional expenses for a match in Christelmreh would only be £lo, and the match would bo of value in that a better selection could be made of the New Zealand team for Australia three days later. The motion was lost. Messrs. A. J. Griffiths and A. C. Kitto were appointed managers of the North Island team, and Messrs. H. Paton and J. N. Milard, managers of the South Island team.
