Iu the meantime delegates were requested to ascertain from their clubs whether one or more selectors were desired and any suggested candidates for the position. , , . . . it was recall fid t'liftt tbe Auckland Union had promised to send a team to Gisborne this season and the meeting agreed that every effort should be made to secure a good programme of, rep- games for the season- . „ ..

BAY OF PLENTY’S GRATITUDE Grateful recognition' of the generous treatment given by the 1-15-Union was. contained . in a letter received from the ' .Bay of. , 1 leutj r Union, .tills Tomrnunic'ahgn running as follows: . "At our annual. .meeting approejaUve reference was made to the ITRugby Union's treatment of. the. Bay of Plenty 'during tho past- years. ■ Xo vour union to a great extent, -is duo tho .progress we hayo been able to 'make in the finances ;oi the Bay union- This June Tmatch mth you has created a great .deal of interest tin the game and: players .lire . keen to get away whenever it, is possible for fliis tour. . ; ..

AI; apyw rate the - visjV are keenly, looked, lor, anil the reports of managers and players on each occasion they' have, visited Gisborne have been more' than pleasing. Y'our generous .treatment of my union in the matter of finance lias brought fprth many kind remarks and has given many members much to think about. We aro in a ’ very fair position today and in regard to future 1 visits I think there will bo little difficulty, On Juno 3, our Bay team will play you. As far as the East Coasty matches arc cote cemed, the management committee will decide this matter at its meeting on the 20th.’''".. ’T * ' ' Tho letter was received, members .expressing igreafc pleasure) at tho tono of ihe communication.

REMITS FOR CONFERENCE DIVISION OF EAST SEASON’S PROFITS The chairman, ■who leaves this morning for Wellington whore ho will attend the animal meeting of the N.Z. Rugby Union tomorrow as Poverty Bay delegate, inquired whether the meeting wished to give any instructions as to his voting on the various subjects on the agenda. The first matter brought up was Iho question of whether or not the broadcasting of big games should be allowed. T'liero was no hesitation among delegates in deciding this matter and the chairman was instructed to strongly oppose the granting of permission for broadcasts. , Among the remits to bo brought forward is one from the Wellington Union suggesting that the net profits of the British team’s tour last season should lie divided among (ho affiliated unions and (lie N.Z.R.U. on a basis to bo approved by ,tho conference. The Wellington union also forwarded particulars of a division which they contended appeared a fair one. Under this proposal, all the costs of each match are to be subtracted from the total receipts and of the balance then remaining a proportion equal to the ratio of tlio profits on the whole tour to the expenditure was to go to the union staging a game, such money to be devoted to purchase of grounds or the paying of mortgages on same. The Wellington body also proposed that 1)0 per cent of the test match receipts should go to the union in the centre where the match was played. Air. Jeunc pointed out that Poverty Bay’s share under the suggested arrangement would total approximately X'fOO. Mr. Primrose remarked that the local union appeared to be bearing heavy financial burdens simply that future generations might obtain tbo benefit and he moved that it be a recommendation to the N.Z. Union that they advance sufficient money at a nominal rale of interest to pay oir the Poverty Bay Union's mortgage. The chairman explained that the N-Z, Union had very little in the way of liquid funds and any money received was immediately loaned out to the unions. Mr Brosnahan contended there was no point in the Dominion body continuing to pile up funds. Mr. Lange commented that what was required by the smaller unions was visits from teams of the large centres“That is exactly it.” agreed Mr. .Jeurie, wlm went on to say that it appeared to him a good Plan for all the profits of the British tour to bo put aside for the encouragement of tours bv teams from the big centres among the smaller unions. “I’m afraid it is no good,” said the chairman. “When I have been in Wellington 1 have pressed for visits for all I was worth, but nothing has been done.” “Unless we have our present liabilities lightened,” stated Mr. Brosnahan, “wo will simply be going on in a crippled state financially for many years.” Replying to Mr. Prim ruse, Air. McKee said 'that the union at present paid about JillO in interest an-' nually. Mr. Brosnahan considered that Poverty Bay’s eas;6 for .assistance* must, bo better than that of most of the .smaller unions, but "the chairman replied that he did not think so. After f urther brief discussion it was decided to instruct tlie chairman to support the first portion ot the "Wellington Union’s proposal, but not the second regarding the division of test match profits.
