INGLEWOOD CLUB, QUESTION OF BOUNDARIES. (From Our Own Correspondent.) At a meeting of tte executive of the Inglewood United Football Club held on Monday evening last, it was decided, by the unanimous accord of the meeting, to request the Taranaki Rugby Union authorities to define clearly and finally the Inglewood Clubs boundaries, and to do so at an early date. It appears that this is not the nrst time that this request has been preferred by Inglewood, and the non-compliance of the Taranaki Rugby Union Is causing discontent here. The present, indefinite position in regard to its boundaries is felt to tamper the club, and in the interests of this club in particular and of football generally in Taranaki, the petition of Inglewood should be granted without delay. An extraordinary general meeting of members and intending members of the local club is to be held at Mr. W. H. Eagar’s rooms, the Coffee Palace, on Tuesday, th© 11th Inst., when important business will be submitted for consideration, and a full attendance Is hoped for. REFEREES’ ASSOCIATION.
