A CANTERBURY COMPLAINT. WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The gross takings at the Rugby match between the North and South Islands at Athletic Park on Saturday were £ISOO. This information was imparted to a meeting of the Management Committee of the Wellington Rugby Union this evening by the chairman, Mr J. Prendcville. The chairman referred to a remark made by Mr Moloney at the last meeting of the Management Committee of the Canterbury Union, to the effect that the South Island team had not been properly looked after in Wellington. The Wellington Union had made a point every time the inter-island match had been played here, said Mr Prendcville, of appointing members of the Management Committee as managers of both teams, and this practice had been followed last week. Mr 11. D. Morgan said he thought Mr Moloney’s idea was that the manager should have met the South Island team at Christchurch. Mr Prendeville said this would not have been much good, as members of the South Island team came by different routes. “Statements of the sort that "Mr Moloney made are very unfair, ’ ’ concluded the chairman, and are apt to provoke bitter replies.” (P.A.)
