The weekly meeting of the Rugby Union was held last evening when the question of starting the matches with greater punctuality was discussed and the Union decided that the bell be rung at 5 minutes to 3 o'clock for tho ground bo be cleared and all "punt-about" to stop. All offending players will be fined. The bell will be rung again ab 3 o'clock for the raabek to start and also at a quarter past three, when if either side is unable or unwilling bo play the opposite aide may claim tho match. The election for a selection committee to pick a representative team to play against Tauranga and the Maoris resulted in tho election of Messrs T. Henderson, T. Macky and P. O. Clayton. Messrs G.
