Campbell was granted a transfer from the llanfurly Club to the Alhambra Club, and L. Caiman from the Clutha Valley Club to the Kaikorai Club.

A letter win received from the Pirates Club stating that as the fifth grade match between Pirates and Technical College was set down for Saturday, June 18, and that as Technical desired to send a team to Christchurch for the annual tournament, the game might be played at a later date. This would obviate the necessity of Technical College defaulting.—The matter was referred to the Flag Committee. It was decided that the junior representative match between Otago and Southland be played at Dunedin on August 27. It was decided to hold Charity Saturday on Saturday next. A letter was received from the town clerk (Mr 11. A.
