NORTHERN UNION.

I SATURDAY'S GAME. Rugby League practice, Victory Square, 3 p.m. The Nelson Rugby League Committee met last night and considered correspondence from Auckland. Matters in connection with the English match Kverc also dealt with. / There was a good muster of players ' and spectators at Trafalgar Park last Saturday, and everything pointed to a very successful opening of the interclub games. As soon, as the news came through regarding the King's death, a meeting of the Committee ot i the League was called, and it was ai once decided that the game be postpoiwd. While feeling in duty bomul to adopt such a course, it came as a severe disappointment to the players and committee, who all expressed j ■ their sorrow at the sad cause of the postponement.
