The Hawke's Bay Rugby Union mot at tho Criterion Hotel last evening, when thero was a irood attendance of delegates, Mr Logan occupying tho chair. The secretary tendered his resignation, and considerable discussion ensued regarding Mr Hoben's and the Union's action re tho Gisborno fixture Somo of the speakers held that tho Gisborno fixture was only endeavored to bo arranged for last week to suit the Union's own convenience. Tho numerous outside matches, as well as cup fixtures, which wore still to be played, would necessitate the abandoning of the Gisborno match, which had been an annual fixture for many years, unless it was decided that week. The position the* secretary assumed over the matter, in resigning on the ground of the Union stultifying his and their own actions, it was contended, was uncalled for, though one and all agreed that the services the secretary had rendered to tho Union proved most invaluable. In recognition of tho various remarks mado by the delegates, tho secretary withdrew his resignation. For tho better guidance of tho Union's allairs in future, v management committee, consisting of Messrs Logan, Hobou, and Morrison, was appointed.
