RUGBY LEAGUE. j MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. The Management Committee of the Canter- j bury Rugby Football League met last oven- j ing, Mr J. K. Worrall presiding. j A letter was received from the New Zea- j land League felicitating the South Island men on the advance made, as shown by the result of the game in which the South Island repre- j sentatives beat the North Island for the first ! time.

North Island match should be held in Ohristchurch, and requested the Canterbury Leapie and the Otago League to eo-eperate with them in endeavouring to attain that object.
