conducted on Sunday evening at the Mount Kden t.ongregatioiial Church by the Rev. F. de Lisle. t .. A request for a match at Hamilton on ht. Patrick s Day against an Auckland side was received from the Waikato Association. A visit from a junior team was also suggested. It was felt bv the committee that Auckland sides. " both senior and junior, had travelled extensively this season, and it was decided to invite the Waikato Association to send its teams to Auckland on the date mentioned. The junior management committee advised that, owing to \v;ir work, the Arsenal third grade team had withdrawn. Y.M.C.A. Tackle Leader.
