STILL DISQUALIFIED.
Mr. Sheahan presided at a special meeting of the Management Committee of the Auckland Rugby Union on Friday,, the fol owing delegates being in attendance: —Messrs. C. P. Stichbury, F. S. Murray, F. J. Ohlson, S. R. Somerfield, R. H. Froude, and V. Langsford (secretary). The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing a requisition from the Newton District Club, praying for the removal of the balance of the term of disqualification imposed on P. Long. The requisition was supported by a petition containing a large number of names of club officials, players, and supporters of the game. The disqualification for 10 years was imposed on Long four years ago, and the persons supporting the requisition are of the opinion that he has been sufficiently punished. The request for the removal of the balance of the term was discussed very fully, the discussion lasting about two hours. The committee were unable to agree to the request.
