ATTITUDE OF SCOTLAND.
(UNITED TRESS COPTBIGHT.) I (AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLB' ASSOCIATION.) _ LONDON, sth May. ,' Tho "Morning Post's" Edinburgh correspondent says the Scottish Rugby Union annual meeting was held in private. It was expected the Scottish attitude in connection with the New Zealand tour would give piquancy to the gathering, but it was uneventful. Mr. R. T. Ncilson (West of Scotland), the retiring president, announced that the Scottish Union had no quarrel with New Zealand, but ignored the New Zealand visit owing to the manner in which tho Rugby Union had arranged the tour. After the New Zealand tour of 1905 it was agreed that' any tour to or, from overseas should be under the direct auspices of the International Board, but, in July ofr last year, Scotland was merely informed that 34 matches .were being arranged, of which two were allocated to Scotland. •' The meeting accepted ' the statement ■without discussion.
