ENGLISH ATHLETES

ITINERARY ARRANGED

At the meeting of the Wellington Centre of the N.Z.A.A.A: last night, a letter was received from the New Zealand Council to the effect that the itinerary for the coming visit of English and Finnish athletes had been arranged. '■"On Wednesday, February. 13, they are to ap-pear-on the West Coast. (North Island), t but the place where the meeting is to be held is not yet decided. On February 16 they will be.at Auckland, and on the following Wednesday (February 20) they will, compete at either Napier or Hastings;: .They will appear at Wellington on Saturday; February 23, and will go thence to the South Island, competing at Dunedin- on February 27 and at Christchurch on JJarch 2. . : ~ The Wellington Centre, said Mr. A. C. Kitto, the presldent,.!thought that they might stage a test contest, New Zealand v.h England, as this would undoubtedly prove a much .greater draw than an ordinary meeting. ■ The council, however, •was to discuss the.matter at their next meeting, .which takes place tonight. It "all-depended oh whether really first-class Dominion performers could "be attracted to the meeting.'Those competing at the Centenary Games would not be back for a fortnight. ■ .■'*.. ;
