I wonder what the Auckland Rugby Union is doing in this matter. They are the people to deal with the N.Z. Union. No wonder League flourishes in Auckland, with suoh a committee controlling the amateur Rugby iJnion of Auckland.—l am, etc., ' SCORING BOARD. (To the Editor.) oir,—With reference to tlie above, and the letters appearing thereon in Tuesday's issue, I, along with probably thousands of other football enthusiasts, think that the Rugby Union officials have made a mistake in the selection of the ground.
