WAIMATAITAI PUBLIC SCHOOL V. TEMUKA D.H.S.

This match resulted in a decisive win for Waimataitai, by 20 points to 2. As in the match with the Tim- rn Main School, the local boys were quite outweighted by their visitors, but their play was quite as plucky as before, although t.'iey lacked the combination of their opponents, whose passing was very good. The following scored for Waimataitai : Bell, Guthrie, Parker, Wood, and Fox. The Tomuka try was gained by Gore, by a smart piece of work behind the scrum. Edwards essayed the kick, which was at a difficult angle, and made a really good attempt, although it did not succeed. For good individual play we may mention Livery, Gore (backs), and Mehrteua (forward) for the losers, and for the winners Hassall, Gouch (backs), and Cuthbert (forward), although evory boy played a good game. Mr Gillespie’s decisions as referee gave every satisfaction. After the match a move was made to the school, whore some of the lady teachers had prepared afternoon tea for the boys, t y the evident satisfaction of all. Hearty cheers were exchanged, the ladies present, of course, receiving an ovation from both teams.

Gillespie occupying the chair. After the minutes of the previous general meeting had been read and continued, the chairman briefly explained the object of the meeting, stating that owing to several requests from members to hold a social it was thought advisable to call them together and discuss the matter. On the motion of Mr Findlay, it was decided to hold a social on June 23th, an amendment that one be held at the end of the season being lost. It was decided to charge one price to members of club and non-members. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the meeting. —A committee meeting was held afterwards, Mr Findlay in the chair. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr Armitage, that Messrs Gillespie, McCallum, Findlay, and McCallum be appointed a subcommittee to make arrangements for the social. The charge was fixed at 3s Od for double tickets; no singles. On the motion of Mr McOaskill a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the tug-of-war team, who kindly donated their prizemoney. £1 Is, to the funds of the club. The Canterbury Rugby Union has decided to send a team to Otago and the North Island in the latter part of the present season.
