THE MODIFIED RULES CONTROVERSY (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELECJItAM.) WELLINGTON, September 10. The New Zealand Union is still dissatisfied with the conditions -under which Saturday's match between Auckland and Wellington was-played. ' Speakers at last night's •meeting claimed . that" 1 the captain had no light to make any arrangement «uoh, for instance, as not cnargiug free kicks, though others pointed out that this was optional, ns tho rule said "may charge," not "must charge." Eventually a resolution .was passed requesting the local union to make enquiry and report whether there was any agreement or arrangement to vary the rules, or whether the captains received instructions to dn so; also whether tho referee waa notified. The chairman stated that the referee bad said that he had no knowledge of any agreement. RAILWAYS COMPETITION.

ASSOCIATION GAMEL THE BROWN SHIELD. The success of Canterbury in the Brown Shield match against Wellington is etecially acceptablo to Otago, by reason of the fact that a stronger Otago team can be got together for the trip to Christchnrch than would have been possible if Wellington had to be visited (says Monday a Dunedin Star' ). Otaro is verv hopeful of bringing the shield to Dunedin this year, and to that end has had men in special training at the Y.iIX.A. rymnasium for some weeks. A match was held on Saturday, and, while the representative team beat the side_ pitted against them by only 6 goals to o, there waa sufficient evidence to encourage the belief that the Brown Shield team, after further opportunity for playing together. wIII make a strong, dashing combination. The match against Canterbury will be played at Christchurch on tho 21st inst. The Otago Association has recommended, that Mr Black, of Christchurch, b© the referee for the match.
