A meeting of delegates from all clubs affiliated with the Manawatu Hockey Association was held last evening to discuss means of raising funds for sending a representative team to Auckland, and also to establish a nucleus for the recently inaugurated insurance scheme. Mr. B. Paleuski was elected to the cha'ir Mr. AV. Turner officiating as secretary and Mr. J. McGavin treasurer. Representatives were also present fiom all clubs except Massey College, who were unable to send a delegate. It was decided to act on a previous decision to hold a queen carnival in the city, the campaigning for tho various queens to bo started to-morrow.
