MAORI TRIAL GAME.

Selection of Rugby Team to Tour Australia. REPRESENTATION ON UNIONS. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON. May 1. With the object of establishing a closer union between Maori and pakeha Rugby players, a conference was held to-day between members of the New Zealand Union and representatives of Native districts. It was decided that a member of the Maori race be added to the management committee of each union and sub-union carrying a large Maori population, or a reasonable number of Maori players. All matches confined to native players- will be under the jurisdiction of the unions concerned, except the Prince of Wales Cup, which will be controlled by the New Zealand Union. Four Maori selectors, one from each Maori district, will be appointed to select their teams from the nominations of official selectors. It was decided that the North-South Maori trial match would be a trial game for the Maori team to tour Australia this year. Teams for Saturday’s Matches. MERIVALE CLUB. First Grade v.
