Application is Io be made to the Taihapc Rugby Union for a grant of £5, and the usual privileges. Mr C. H. Transom referred to the union balance-sheet, showing that the cost of marking out the grounds last season amounted to approximately £B, and pointed out that the 10 yards lines at half-way and also the five yards’ line parallel to the touch lines were not delineated last season, li was resolved to request the Rugby Union to remedy this matter.
