Mr Rimmer said the arrangements were entirely satisiactory and the manager (Mr Robinson, deserved every commendation for tlie way lie had managed the players. While lie thanked the committee for their sentiments, Mr Robinson said that, where possible,, players should be sent by cars instead of by train to enable them to get back after the match and to get something to eat before they departed for home. “We should consider Ihe players a little more—even if it costs Hie Union an extra pound or so to do it,” he remarked. Mr Robinson drew special attention to the fine hospitality which the Manawatu Union had extended to the Horowhenua pi a vers. The hot food and drink supplied by them had been most gratefully received. A transfer from the Weraroa Club to tlie Wanderers Club, subject to the sanction of (lie former, was asked for by P. MeCiiii. Hector McDonald also applied for a transfer from the County Club to tlie Levin Wanderers. The Weraroa Juniors applied for the transfer of three Hui Mai junior plavers, namely, K. Perry, J. Keogh, ami Robinson, to the Weraroa Club.It was decided that no further transfers would be granted this season, and the above applications were therefore refused. Pei mission was given to the Hut Mai-Seniors to play a friendly game Mfith FeUding, at Feilding, on Sat,;nbiv. Mr' Hutchens moved that as a rep. North and South match had been played last year, a similar game should also be played this year.—Carried. The secretary (Mr Carmichael) suggested that all ehih secretaries should be given a pass which would give them access to all grounds within the union.
