AUCKLAND BOARD AFFAIRS. SENIOR NOMINATION DATE. SPECIAL SILVER JUBILEE BALL. At the meeting of the Auckland Rugby League Board oi Control last evening, Mr. G. Grey Campbell presiding, it was decided that nominations for the senior grade competition close a week after the annual meeting which is to take place on April 9. It was resolved to approve a proposal by the A.R.L. ladies' committee to hold a jubilee ball early in May in honour of His Majesty the King, supreme patron of the Kugby League. The recommendation stated that provision had been made for the use of a central city cabaret, and preparations were already in train to make the event an outstanding one in the history of the game. The appointment of Mr. D. Wilkie as chairman of the junior committee and representative on the senior board was approved, and Mr. Wilkie was congratulated.

The chairman and Mr. Doble were appointed delegates to the annual meeting of the New Zealand Rugby League. No other nominations being received from the clubs, Messrs. J. W. Probert and J. Rukutai were declared re-elected as representatives on the board. Mr. Campbell said it was gratifying to note this evidence of confidence ill the club representatives.

Richmond Rovers recommended the appointment of a sole selector for Auckland, this being referred for the considera: tion of the incoming committee.

Reports of annual meetings of five senior clubs, junior management committee and the Referees' Association were received and approved. The Ponsonby Club advised that Messrs. N. Bass (committee) and W. Murray (selector) were unable to accept office, and Messrs. C. Raynes, C. Brown and W. J. Hindman had been elected to the club committee. The chairman said he was pleased to note that Mr. E. W. Cloke, an ex-New Zealand representative player, was again actively associated with the game as secretary of Newton Rangers.
