IRISH OLYMPIC GAMES
CONDITIONS OF ENTRY. BY TILEGRAPH-PRESS ASSOCIATION. Auckland, May 14. Particulars of the proposed Irish Olympic Games in Dublin next August have reached Mr. M. J. Sheahan, m a letter from Mr. J. J. Welch, director of the Tailtean Games. “It should be clearly understood,” states Mr. Welch, “that the games of Gael have always been kept aloof from the political conflict. Prominent men of all views are working together to ensure the success of this great Irish athletic event. It is the earnest desire of all that thia common platform on which all Irishmen mav moot should continue to be nonpolitical. The promoters suggest the formation of committees in each country to procure capital to send competitors to Ireland. The promoters cannot defray any travelling or other expenses, but the transport sub-committee is engaged in obtaining concessions from shipping companies and railways. The competitions are open to all amateurs horn in Ireland, to those one of whose parents was born in Ireland, or to those two of whose grandparents on one side were born there.”
