Per Press Association.

, AUCKLAND, July 26. With reference to the complaint from New Plymouth that the Auckland Rugby Union had not supplied the TaraLnaki. U^ion with information regarding the visit of the Auckland Junior repreI sentative team to Taranaki, Mr. Langsford, secretary of the A.R.U., states that he telegraphed on the llth : inst. to the secretary of the Taranaki Union informing him that the Auckland Rugby Union regretted it could not alter the date of the senior match. He also stated that the juniors from Auckland would be visiting New Plymouth, and asked for a suitable date to be named as early as possible. Mr Langsford also wrote on the 16th inst., tluWdays before the complaint was telegraphed from New Plymouth. So far, however, the A.R.U. has not received any reply. So it would, appear that Taranaki, and not the Auckland Union, is'to blame.
