IN SCOTLAND. HOPES OF ARRANGING A MATCH. Pnaa-Aesocistkm—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October 28. The keenest disappointment and a oor■tain amount cf resentment are felt by •R&gbyites throughout Scotland at the failure of the authorities to arrange matches with the New Zealanders. Although the Scottish Union is not taking action, and is unlikely to recede from its original attiBido, it is generally believed that efforts a,ro. afoot to arrange one match later in the season, independently of the union’s management. The greatest difficulty will bo in securing a ground unless the union sanctions the match. It is pointed out, however, that it might bo possible to secure an Association ground if tho game Was played in tho middle of the week. — A.- and N.Z. Cable.
