Pago, who officiated in the Ashburton-Siningburn match, reported to the Ashburton Union that ho; had been, subjeoted to an -unwarrantable hostile, demonstration. While in the . a spectator offered to fight him. An official of the" club had denounced the Ashburton Union arid tho referee in a very abusive 'manner. In future ho would refuse to control matches contested at Spr.ingburn, and he advised the union not to appoint referees to officiate in that area. It was decided that the Springburn ground should bs disqualified and that no further teams or referees should be sent to Springburn. The Springburn Club, on their part, wrote, intimating their intention of withdrawing both teams fromthe competition "on account of the inconsistency of the Rugby Union."
