DUNEDIN.
This day. The Committee of the Otago Rugby Union have considered the letter from the' Auckland Union respecting a guarantee for the Auckland interprovincial foot' bailers this season. The Union has replied that, as hitherto interprovincial teams have paid their own expenses, no guarantee could be given.
At the Otago Dock Trust meeting Mr Pish reported that the Premier had promised that an Act would be introduced next session repealing that of 1882, and transferring the powers contained therein to the Otago Harbor Board ; that all land in the original endowment and the present dock plant should be handed brer to the Board with power to borrow £100,000, and that the Trust's demand for further endowment, in lieu of land taken for railway purposes, would be favorably considered. Mr Fish suggested that the Government be requested to reconsider the matter, and be asked to convey the whole of the land originally intended, as endowment, to the Trust or the Board ; and that a clause be inserted in the Act empowering the Gsverment to lease from the Board so much of its reserves as are required for railway purposes. The Trust decided to act on the suggestions.
