CHAMPION'S N.Z. TOUR. alteration in itinerary. TOO MUCH TRAVELLING. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) -fc-LLIXGTON. Monday. A:, alteration in J. E. Lovelock's New Zfciii.2 3 itinerary -was annotmc-ed ' to-dav by Aunister of Internal Affaire, the Hon. V*. E. Parry. Owing to the strain c: constant. travelling and making public £j'pt , in many ca.sfis scvci'aj. times & cj2y. witli the shipping st-rike in *iie L nited states, Loveloc-k finds it; necissiry to leave from Auckland bv the Aorsngi on December S, instead of* four days -.iter as originally intended. The teaxrangement of the runner's trip will result in the cancellation of all engagements prior to his arrival m Piotorua. leaving Wellington on November 25, Jjc "x'j.cei-i "will proceed to Itotoma. via Natiwial Park instead of by -way of Wairal spa. Haivke's Bay, Poverty 'Bay and Bsy of Plenty. "I have no dor-bt." said the Minister, '•list Lovelock himseix would. have been •sri-iing to keep to the prearranged programme if it had been practicable at "all. The Government, hovrever, feels that no risk _oi a breakdown in. our visitor's health "From the beginning, a%our or five days' holiday in Ectopia was contemplated, and this c:annot_ be forgone," he added. "Naturally, the people in those places now excluded from the itinerary will be very disappointed. They _will, I feel sure, accept the inevitable in a proper sporting spirit, and recognise with the Government that, brief as it has been, Lovelock's visit has. been of intestimable value to New Zealand as a whole, and not merely to the scratch: meeting. CENTRES SPOSTS AT LTKNDALE. A scratch points meeting was laid at the L-ynnciale Club's grounds, New Lynn, [■ii Saturday, representatives of most .Auckland clubs taking part in the- many events. The track was heavy and repeated showers hindered The programme. The cycle events were postponed on account of the greasy nature of the. track. The inside 100 yds track was overgrown with grass and hence times were on the slow side. Hesuits:— ICO Yards A Grade.—N. Bunnell (E.) 3, A. .1- Savers (G.) 2. J. Cutler (V.) 3, B. IloJiertson (G.) 4.
