CALEDONIAN SOCIETY'S ANNUAL SPORTS.
TO THE EDITOE. ' ■ ; I Sir,—After your reply to ' Interested' ! in last night's 'Star' little remains for explanation from a N.Z.A. Union point of view. Your correspondent pointedly aska: "if the Caledonian Society do not now" control their own sports,' seeing they provide the prize money ; and, if they are ,no,t. fit and proper persona to decide who should compete at their sports?" Quite eo. The Otago Caledonian Society, I feel certain, when they decided to "join the Athletic Union, knew what they were doing. Surely the fact that there are not three societies or clubs in this island outside the pale of the union should prove to "Interested" that there is more in the governing body of cash sport than he wishes to admit. x \.s to the justice or otherwise of M'Lachlan's disqualification I will not venture an opinion now, but will leave it to the coming conference to.de- r cide.—l am, etc., D. J. Corcoran, Secretary N.Z.A. Union. Oamaru, December 25.
