Paton, E. Little, G. Howe, S. S. Deane, and A. J. Griffiths. The Wellington Journalists’ Union wrote asking that more adequate provision be made for Press representatives at tho forthcoming Test match, at Wellington. Air. S. S. Dean said that tho union owed a. debt of gratitude to the Press for what they ha<| done for Rugby football throughout the Dominion, and on his motion a sub-committee was appointed to confer with representatives of the Joufnnlists’ Union, with a view to providing better accommodation for football reporters in attendance at the match. Permission was granted the South Auckland Rugby Union to change its name to the “Waikato Rugby Football Union.” The Referees Appointment Board notified that the following referees had been appointed in connection with the Springboks’ tour: —Against South Canterbury, Mr. J. F. Peake, of Christchurch; against Southland. Mr. R. M’Kenzie, of Dunedin; against Manawatu, Mr. H. J. M’Kenzie, of Carterton. A request from the Marlborough Progress League for nn exhibition match to be put on by tho Springboks at Blenheim against a local fifteen, was i‘cferred to the manager of the South Africans for consideration. Application was made on behalf of C. Badeley, who was picked as five-eighths in the first Test match, for permission for him to postpone his departure from Auckland till Saturday, August 6, or Sunday. August 7. —It was decided to reply. advising that (he union could not t agroe to the request, as it was essential that all players should assemble at Dunedin not later than August 6. A request from the Hawke’s Bay Union for the erection of extra stand accommodation at Napier on tho occasion of tho match against the Springboks was refused on the score of expense. A request from Danncvirko for the provision of a special train from Dannevirke to Napier on thy day of the Springboks fixture was referred to Mr. i Dean for submission to General Man- ' ager of Railways. The King Country Union wrote accepting the invitation to play a match against a Wellington B team as a “cur-tain-raiser” to the third Test. An earlier "curtain-raiser" will be put on by two teams representing the Wellington primary schools. It was resolved to include Horowhenua representatives in the Manawatu team to meet the New South Wales team at Palmerston North. Intimation was received that arrangements had been made for the Moasear Cup match between Wanganui Technical College and the l*ew Plymouth High School, to be played in New Plymouth on Saturday, August 6. Suggestions from the rector of the Otago Boys’ High School in regard to proof of age of players in the Moascnr Cup competition were inferred to a sub, committee. The South African Board of Control wrote applying for a refund of £504, tho amount expended in outfitting .the Springboks.—Consideratiari was deferred. Mr. T. Fletcher addressed the meeting in support of the request of the New Zealand Referees’ Association that its members bo granted, free admission to the ground and a concession on booking in the stand on the occasion of the third Test match—lt was decided _ to adhere to a previous decision limiting the concession to referees to freo admission to the ground. With regard to the question of players injured in matches against tho Springboks it was decided that each case would be dealt with on its merits. INTERPftOVINCIAL match TARANAKI BEATS WANGANUI. By Telegraph.--Press Association. Stratford, July 28. The interprovincial llugby match, Wanganui v. Taranaki, was played this afternoon before over 2000 spectators. It resulted iu a win for Taranaki by 9 points (two unconverted tries and. a penalty goal) to 6 points (a penalty goal and an unconverted try). Play in trie first half was interesting, being at times fast and open, with the advantage to Taranaki*, who were playing with the sun in their eyes. A penalty was kicked tor Taranaki within twenty minutes of starting, and the second score, a try by Mab one, came ten minutes later. W anganui scored a penalty goal shortly before hantime. On changing ends, the visitors made the game open, and assumed the aggressive, maintaining the advantage almost wholly throughout. But the Tara-i naki defence was too solid. Half-way through the spell, as the result of a fine uaßslng rush, Collier scored at the corner llai- A lew minutes before the call 01 time, as the result of a forward rush, followed by passing, Roberts, scored tor Taranaki. It was rather a disappointing game, und Taranaki were lucky to win. The weather was fine and the ground in good . order. FIXTURES FOR SATURDAY.
