The committee now decided that the match be a special challenge, the Hawke's Bay Union being allowed to pay tra as it expenses for a reasonable number 'of players from Napier to Auckland and back to Napier. It was decided to ask the South Canto .tury Union for further information about the player who was disqualified till the end of 1908 for being drunk on thVfiSd'-of play, it being thought that the sentence •■■oa •this person was too lenicr.v.
