P.llall, line umpire in the Maori Hill v. Northern game played last Saturday week, who had been requested to attend the meeting for using insulting language, jostling and attempting to strike the referee, forwarded a letter of apology. He denied having struck at the referee, but stated that he may have used bad laoetiage. 'lf so, he was sorry. He further stated that he did not want to bring trouble to the Maori Hill Club. Mr Newall, an official of the Maori Hill Club, attended, and stated that he had intervened and averted trouble between Hall and the referee. He informed the committee that Hall did not actually strike the referee. His club had disciplined Hall and the committee of the club had taken steps to stop any further trouble. In view of the fact that, the Maori Hill Club had already disciplined Hall, it was decided to accept Hall's apology and take no further action iu the matter. HOME MATCHES AT SEACLIFF. A letter was received from the secretary of the Seacliff Club protesting against his club having to play away from home on Saturday last, when it should have played at Seacliff. The secretary expressed the hope that the other matches due at home would be played there. Mr M'lnnes, convener of the Match Committee, remarked that it was never his intention that these games should be played in Dunediu. 7'he secretory (Mr A. W. Sinclair) pointed out that the gate receipts received at the Caledonian Ground had not paid the annual outgoings and the financial aspect would have to be considered when the draws were being arranged. Mr M'lnnes said that the only relief seemed to be an application to the City Council for a reduction of the.'* vicious " charges for grounds. The chairman: I think we will get a rebate. The letter was referred to the Match Committee. CUP FOR JUNIOR FOOTBALL. The junior selectors (Messrs A. Keacb, J. Patton and J. Rigby) waited on the committee and presented a. trophy for annual, competition between the Otago juniors' aud Southland seniors.
