Tho chairman said Hint lie thought the letter should ho sent to the Onehunga Club who should be asked for an explanation. This was agreed to. i Non-Affiliated Clubs. A few months ago a sub-committee of tho association sent' a circular letter to non-nffiliatcd Auckland clubs asking tlieni to come into the association. Tho chairman said that out of a score of clubs which had been written t'o, only i four had replied. 110 had been told that a counter-circular had been sent out bj i 'a provincial association. i The replies were read. Otahuhu said . ifc could not seo its way to affiliate now, I but' in the event of a New Zealand Awo. ciation being formed they would give the matter earnest consideration. Coromandel had resolved to remain as at present, i.e., affiliated with the Auckland Provincial Association. Mount Albert had decided to consider the matter this month. Rotorua had unanimously decided to decline the request. * Mr. Keith said that Jvhandallah were ■ going t'o apply for affiliation later on. > It was resolved that the action of tho * sub-committee should bo approved. : Mr. Keith: "Do I understand, gentle- * men, that the subcommittee is discharged from its duties l in this matter? Members: "No." Amalgamation. > • A sub-committee communicated with the southern association some time ago a view to forming ono association for the » Dominion. Up to the present no reply has been received. Mr. Bush said that the Northern As- » sociation had gono almost on its knees . in the matter. - The 'chairman agreed, and said that he . did not feel inclined to go any further. Mr. P. S. Corliss (Nelson delegate) said . that he had been a member of the South Island Association for many years and his impression,was that the southerners were desirous of having one association. Other councillors commented that the South Island Association had not shown any anxiety in the matter. It was resolved to ask the committee to again write to the Southern Association. ~ ... Mr. Bush asked what the association proposed to do in the matter of the noft constitution. The chairman said he did not. know what they could do till the affiliation question was dccided. Mr. Bush then moved that if there was no replv from the Southern Association within a month, a further meeting of tho Northern Association should be called to consider the new rules. This motion was carried. It was reported that the balance to date was JGI4I 7s. 7d. RIFLE SHOOTING. EASTBOURNE RIFLE CLUB.
