Olympic Association to make a last-moment appeal for £IOOO toward the fun, the Olympic Council at Wellington was criticised by Mr E. B. Fairbairn, who said that the Council had been far too ambitious and hatL squandered money in expensive literature, thus alienating the sympathy coming to it from the sporting community at Dunedin. Altogether the whole movement had been in quite bad odour. He thought the appeal had been started too late, on the wrong lines and with wrong ambitions.
