CENTENNIAL GAMES IN WELLINGTON
RESENTMENT EXPRESSED IN AUCKLAND (PEESS ASSOCIABfXOK TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND. June 2. Strong resentment was expressed by Mr W. R. Fee, at a meeting of the Council of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce to-day, concerning- the decision of the New Zealand Centennial Committee to hold a centennial sports meeting at Wellington. He claimed that this should be left to Auckland, which had already advanced a proposal for centennial games. Mr Fee said the decision would reacf to the detriment of the Centennial Exhibition in Wellington, as the Auckland public would not be- prepared to co-operate so fully if the question assumed a parochiail aspect. Other speakers supported his remarks, maintaining that each centre should be afforded facilities for its own special form of celebration, and that overlapping between centres should be avoided.
