N.Z. OLYMPIC TEAM.

TO SAIL ON SATURDAY.

MISS STOCKLEYiS DEPARTURE.

The New Zealand Olympic team will sail by the Remuera from Wellington on Saturday. Miss E. Stoekley, of Auckland, will leave by train at 7.10 p.m. to-morrow for Wellington, and will attend farewell functions to the team, which will be held in Wellington on Thursday and Friday. In addition to competition at the Games at Amsterdam the New Zealand team will compete as follows:—Lay, at the English A.A. championships prior to ■the Games, and also in the matches, British Empire v. United States and British Empire and Achilles Club after t'he Games; the swimmers in the British Empire championships, which are being held after thjc Games, by the English Amateur Swimming Association. The boxers and Miss Wilson will have invitations to compete both before and after the Games, and the whole team will compete at the Tailteann Games in Dublin a fortnight after the Amsterdam contests.

If suitable arrangements can be made it is probable that the team will return via South Africa to return the compliment paid to New Zealand by sending out the Springbok athletic team to this country in 1922.
