The Union could not postpone the fixture Taradale v. County 2nd, and it must he played onJSaturday at Farndon. In reference to tho protest of the Rangers Club, tho County team admitted playing a senior man, but tho Rangers had sixteen players on their side. Tho letter was referred to the latter Club. Tho secretary of the Recreation Ground Company applied for payment for use of tho ground in connection with tho Rugby Union sports. It was explained that tho directors of tho Company had assured the members of the Union that no charge would be made beyond the £1-10 for the ground should the Union decide to hold a sports gathering, when the last payment of £00 was made to the company, Mr Fielder stated that unless the claim was satisfied the Union would not be permitted to hold the sports ou tho Recreation Ground.
