That cable j ould be sent at the week-end, and they could tell him to keep Rose in training until the end of the month, and if by that time there was an intimation that ho was likely to get somewhere near lus : lx?st New Zealand form, then Rose would_ remain longer. If lip then, con-: sidered he was not likely to strike his ; best form, then the matter would havei to be considered at this cvnd. a-tid the council would have to decide whether ■ ho should continue, or return honve.- •, Mr.. Franklin: It will give him an opportunity to strike form. •' The chairman: There are plenty of meetings to be held yet.- Any meeting j with Nurmi will be out of .thp question i unless he , does better time .than'any man in England. Mr. E. ('. Guy deprecated the sparcity of the cable news which had been forthcoming a.« to Rose's doings and condition. The Australian papers had ;been better informed than New Zealand, for it was strftrd in Australian papers that Rose hail been suffering from a cold. The IVess Association should < gfve New Zealand, a reasonable-service. They were! giving columns of-. Australian crickets but of the English championships, in Which world's records had been broken, they got-about six inches. The international championships were held in America on July 4, and there was not a word about them. They had'similar trouble about the All Blacks until the Rugby Union got to work, and obtained more satisfactory results-. Tile reports had been quite insufficient about Rose. Mr. R. Connop remarked that a man could not do his best when siifferini: from a cedd. Rose knew New Zealand was behind him. The chairman said Rose received a cable from the association from the Prime Minister which would make Rose do his best. Having done his best and failed, he was disheartened on Saturday night, and talked about going -home. With a cheering message he would be a different man at the end of the month. Mr. Connop: It was because he was not feeling at his best that the other men didn't follow him home. Porritt's cable was the outcome of- Rose's sugges- | tion. Mr. Lusk said he was satisfied that there was something wrong with Rose; The chairman said he was glad to see that McHolm had held .his own.with.the world's best, and had thrown the hammer better than for many years past. It was decided to cable: "Quite satisi fied with efforts. -Carry on prosrstnme." THE CHAMPIONSHIPS AT BRISBANE. ANOTHER AUCKLANDER fo GO_ fßy Telegraph.—Press Association.> I WELLINGTON,.
