The cost of sending the Southland team north will amount'to over £6OO. Tho Giago team will go on tour also as far as Auckland about the end of August, 1 and it is not anticipated that much diffi- ' cully will be found in sending a strong side 1 away. r £ho University students selected : 'will'be on vacation at that time.
