After a long discussion, during which it transpired that compliance with this arrangement would necessitate the visitors returning to San Francisco from Auckland, via Honolulu, instead of from Wellington, as originally intended, at a;i c.\-tr3 cost of £20, ij: was decided, lo cable agreeing to the terms if the Victorian message, conditionally upon that association immediately remitting its £160 guarantee, and upon the two associations undertaking to control and bear flio cost of tho American visit from January 17 (the dato of arrival iu S.vd-

neyl to February 25 (the date ol departure I'or Auckland).

NO VISIT FROM SOUTH'AFRICA. A meeting of the Committee of Iho . New Zealand Rugby I'liion «a» held last evening. Those present were: Messrs. N. G. Galbrailb (in the chair). E. Wylie, R. M. Isaacs, F. J. Warburton, and A. IJ. llollis (secretary). In reference to tho visit of a South African team to New Zealand, a loiter | was received from tho South African Itugby control intimating that the matter had been considered at a board mooting held on October 3 last, and after mature, consideration it had been decided that although heartily appreciating the invitation, it was impossible to accept it. In the first place (said tho writers) it was only as long ago as the beginning of the year that a South African team returned from touring the British Isles, and secondly tho South African intcr-Stato tournament takes place in July next year in Natal. This dato had been fixed two years ago. A letter was received from the.California liughy Union thqnking the New Zealand Union for the. handsome way in which tho Now Zealand Union had recognised them as participants in. the proceeds of tho N.Z.K.F.U. Wellington Union game. Tho writers added that the New-Zealand men were doing , splendidly in California and creating a good impression in more ways than ono.

THE AMERICAN ATHLETES;

A GREAT HURDLE RACE. (By Te!cKrash.--Prcss Association.) Invorcargill, December 17 Tho American athletes paid a visit to Invercargill, and were present at a sports meeting under the auspices or tlie Southland Amateur Athletic Association here to-day. The main attraction was the meeting of Tenipletoii and Keddell in the 120 yards hurdles, which race the latter won by Ii inches in 16 l-ssec. Teinpleton led for the greater part of the way, but Keddell came over tho last part of tho journey with a fino burst of speed, and just got up on the tape to win by inches only. The time was given ,as 1C 1-5 sec., but the runners had to contend with bad meteorological conditions, and a nasty cross wind. Tho race was the best over witnessed in Southland over hurdles. Later 011 Keddell won the 120 yards hurdles in similar time. With the exception of Parker (sprinter) the Americans were all suffering from minor ailments, although Power managed to dead-heat with the 105 yards man in the mile, ho was still far from well, and may go straight through to Wellington to-morrow, to try and regain form there by a courso of training. Caughcy injured bis kiiee nt Christchurcli whilo sprinting, but competed in the field events, and his bestputt of the Ifilb. shot in tho competitions was 41ft. ii'in., and immediately after iu an exhibition put he did 42ft. 2iin., which is better than the New Zealand record of 41ft. (iin. Templeton was confined to bis room on Tuesday with a severe cold, and althougn ho competed in a large number of events ho did not perform as well as at Christchurcli. In the high jump, the American cleared oft. Bin., but was defeated in the pole-vault by the local lad, FT. 11. Whitaker, at 10ft. 3m. The handicaps were too liberal to allow of Parker, the sprinter, getting a place in either the 100 yards or 220 yards handicaps, although his . performances stamped him as a very line sprinter. 100 yds. Handicap.—First heat: G. fi. Parker, America (scr.), 1; G. J. Scott, 2. Time, 10 11-osee. Second heat: A. S. Ileid (121 yds.) run through. Third heat: E. M. Hain'tcs (lOj'fls.), 1; F. ti. Steed, 2.
