The-weekly meeting of the committee 61. the Olago Rugby Union, held yesterday, was attended by Messrs Gallaway (president), Campbell, Duncan, M'Laren, Payne, Strong, Young, and Hutchison. A letter was received from the Southern Club claiming by default the match Southern Third v. Port Chalmers Second,-which was to have been played last Saturday. An application was received from the Pirates Club for a transfer for T. Vangioni from the Christchurch Club. It waa agreed to inquire from, the Christchurch Club whether there was any objection to the transfer and, if not,, to grant the application. A complaint was received from the Dunedin Club respecting its members being refused free1 admission, to the grand stand on the Caledonian ground, and it was decided to point out to the club that its members were in the same position as the .members of the Pirates Club in regard to the stand on the Carisbrook ground. A letter was received from the Dunedin Club protesting against a try (from which a goal was kicked) scored in the second-grade match Union C v. Dunedin, in consequence of the Dunedin full back having been interfered with through the encroachment of spectators on the field of play. Consideration was deferred pending tho receipt of a report from | the referee. A letter was received from the referee in tho first-grade match Dunedin v. 1 Union (Mr' Haydon), reporting that he had* ordered D. M'Kewen, of the former team, off the ground for, it was alleged, striking an opponent. It was decided to take the matter into consideration at the next weekly meeting.

lhe Flag Committee have decided that the first-grade match Dunedin v. Alhambra shall be played on the Caledonian ground on Saturday, and that the match High School Second v. Ravensbourho Second, which had been arranged for that ground, should be played there at' 1.30 p.m., or else on the Opoho ground.
