FOOTBALL.
A meeting of footballers and all interested in the game was held in Mr Perreau’s rooms last night, Mr F. D. Whibley presided over a fair attendance. A letter was read from the secretary of the Horowhemui Rugby Union, advising that the Union’s senior competition would commence on Saturday next, and asking Foxton to take part in same. After some discussion, it was decided that as it would not be possible to get a sufficiently strong senior team, that Foxton could not see its way to take part in this competition. it wa.s considered that it would be better to run a competition locally, trophies for which had already been provided, and it wad decided to make application to the Horowhemui Union to .have the Foxton district created a sub-union, and Messrs Whibley, Roore and D. McEwen were appointed delegates to attend the meeting of the Horuwliemia Union to support the application.
A further meeting will he convened as soon as the decision of theHorowhemm Union is known.
