The Taranaki Union submitted an appeal on behalf of the Star Club agaiust the decision of that Union in disqualifying two players for alleged misconduct, which took place after the Star-Tukapa match. It was decided to await further particulars in regard to the matter before coming to a final decision.

The Taranaki Union met at Stratford on Tuesday night. Paltridge and Paul, ordered off by the referee in the recent Clifton-Inglowood match, were let off with a caution. It was decided to postpone the Senior Cup matches on July 12, in order to play the first of a series of three Southern v. Northern division matches to gauge rep form. The first match will be played in the Recreation Grounds ou the above date.

The Management Committee of the N.Z. Rugby Union met at Wellington on Monday night. It was decided not to take any further steps in regard to inviting the N.S. Wales' rep. team to visit N.Z. this season. * Some questions relative to Taranaki were also considered as follows : — Correspondence was read from the Taranaki Unicn in reference to the case of a player named Mumby, who was last year disqualified for professionalism at the instance of that body. The Taranaki Union now sought to have the disqualification removed, holding' that a year's disqualification wa3 ample to meet the case. It was held that the disqualification of a player must be for life, and therefore the Union had no power to rescind the sentence previously passed by it.
