The Secretary was instructed to write to the Secretary of the Whareama Football Olab re drawing for Junior Cup, and inform him that on account of the Club's failing to fulfil engagements last season the Union thought that probably this season they did not intend to join, and that any of the affiliated clubs would only be too happy to give them a game if they came down, A protest was received from the Red Star Football Club against the Masterton second fifteen. Mr A. E, D'Arey gave a lengthy explanation regarding the picking of th 9 first fifteen, and after considerable argument it was proposed by Mr Downsrd that Mr D'Arcy's explanation be accepted, Mr Iggulden proposed as an amendment, seconded by Mr Butement, that Mr D'Arcy's explanation be not accepted. The amendment was put and lost on the show of hands and the original motion was put and carried.

The Gladstone Football Club claimed the matoh against the Carterton Pirates on the ground that the latter Club did not go to Gladstone as drawn in the Cup fixtures.

The secretary was instructed to write to the Taranaki Rugby Union and try and arrange a return representative matoh with that Union on Saturday, July 23rd, offering them fifty /por ceut, of the nett gate takings. Mr W.
