AUCKLAND OBJECTION
CENTENNIAL SPORTS
WELLINGTON AS VENUE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day,
Strong resentment was expressed by | Mr. W. R. Fee, at a meeting of the council of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce today, 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. He said that the decision would react 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 parochial aspect. Other speakers supported Mr. Fee, maintaining that each centre should be afforded facilities for its own special form of celebration and that overlapping between centres should be I avoided.
