Advice was received from the Wairarnpa Rugby Union that it agreed to playing tho Wairaiapa-Welliugton match on the 22ml August, the Wnirarapii town in which tho game will take place to be notified later. Tho Auckland Rugby Union asked that its representative match with Wellington, to be played at Wellington on the ISth August, be for the Ranfurly Shield in the event of Wellington holding the trophy on that date.
