He propos ed that either the Association maintain the stand and give ten per cent. to the Club, or that the Club maintain the stand and take the gates. He said he was not growling at the Association, but he had to speak on behalf of the interests of the Club.
The Chairman said that the matter would have the attention of the incoming Committee.

The meeting responded to Mr. Ralston's invitation to show their confidence in the Committee by un- animously agreeing to the suggest- ed alterations.
Mr. Russell argued that six three for rugger and members, three for soccer, were inadequate. He suggested that the number be increased by one in each case by the inclusion of non-playing mem- bers. The suggestion did not find favour with the meeting..
Four amendments to rules were then proposed by Mr. Duncan. These were passed with the ex- ception of the first dealing with Rule 7 which Mr. Duncan, urged should provide for à quorum of seven members instead of five. Amendments adopted and reasons given therefore were as under:-
Rule 35. "An annual general meet- ing shall be held not later than June 15 in each year when the Secretary's report and Treasurer's statement of accounts and balance sheet for the previous year shall be submitted. Any other business in the interests of the Club may also be discussed." Reasons given for the change were that it desirable to hold the
