The Representative Athletic Team.
A number of Messrs. Hempton and Batger's friends were on the Queen'B Wharf when the Takapuna left for the Manukau yesterday afternoon, and as she moved away hearty cheera were given for the Wellington members of the Bepresentative Athletic Team. Mr. Hempton ib dissatisfied with the handicap in the 150 yds race at Auckland next Saturday. He considers that his chance of beating Mr. Cuff, the manager of the team, who has been allowed Byds, is very small, and before, he left by the T&kapuna yesterday he wired the secretary of the Auckland Amateur Athletic Club that he would not start in that event. A statement appears in an Auckland paper that Mr. Batger has been obliged to give up hig billet in order t*> leave for England. We have made enquiries, and find there is no truth in the report.
