Tho club had hnd a player injured in tho first match of tho season. Tho matter hud been brought up previously by College. So far there was nothing definite to report in regard to inquiries made of tho Canterbury Rugby Union as to whether Ellesmere players should participate in their scheme. Apparently the Canterbury Rugby Union was not anxious that tho Ellesmere players should be brought under its scheme. Ho suggested that clubs should consider the matter. It was decided that tho secretary should write to tho Canterbury Union to ascertain whethor there was any chanco of the Ellesmere Rugby SubUnion players being brought under its insurance schemo. The president said that iv scheme proposed somo years ago wa-s that each club Bhould pay in £3 3s, -i>nd injured players bo paid 15s per week.
