During discussion at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Rugby Union yos!"i'dsiy, Mr. A \. Adams, of West Coast, said, that in his opinion, the annual conference of the New Zealand Referees' Association dirl more harm than good. Resolutions went out from these conferences which only mystified country referees. Mr. S, S. Dean said that if the referees wanted to have uniformity of rules, they should send out to the unions a copy of the proceedings at the conferences. The conferences did a certain amount of good, but the delegates often came away from them with wrong impressions.
