Burns, A. Low, L. Ward, J. Hopley, R. Watson, B. Turner, M. F. Woodward. Mr Turner was appointed manager of the Town team to play Country on Saturday. Mr L. Ward reported that as the Kurow and Duntroon grounds were frozen hard it might be impossible to have the Town-Country match on Saturday played in the country. Mr Ward stated that the sub-union had originally selected Kurow as the venue, but had changed to Duntroon, as the former ground was under snow. However, it appeared that the Duntroon ground w-aa now in a similar condition.—The matter was left to a subcommittee to make the necessary arrangements. An invitation was received from the Old Boys’ Club to attend its annual ball.—The president was delegated to attend. The South Canterbury Union advised that it would send a junior representative team to Oamaru on July 24.—Received.

Mason wrote stating that, owing to family responsibilities, he regretted h© would be unable, in the event of selection, to make the North Island tour. In view of this he felt it would be only fair to stand aside for a successor in the Town-Country game, in order that combination might be acquired from the outset.—lt was decided to notify the selectors, and to thank Mr Mason for his generous action.
