SCOTTISH RUGBY UNION.
WHY NEW ZEALAND VISIT WAS IGNORED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, May 5. The Morning Post’s Edinburgh correspondent says the Scottish Rugby Union annual meeting was held. It was privately expected that the Scottish attitude in connection with the New Zealand tour would give piquancy to thesgathering, but the meeting was uneventful. Mr. Wilson, the retiring president, announced that the Scottish Union had no quarrel with New Zealand, but had ignored the New Zealand visit owing to the manner in which the Rugby Union arranged it® tour. ' After the New Zealand tour of 1905 it was agreed that any tom- to and from overseas should be under the direct auspices of the International Board, but in July Scotland was merely informed that thirty-four matches were being arranged, whereof two were allocated to Scotland.
The meeting accepted the statement without discussion.
