ATHLETIC UNION. Tim fifth annual meeting of llic Otago Cent::; of the New Zealand Athletic, and Cycling Union was held in too Chamber of Commerce last evening. Mr C. IT Keiftt I prod dent) occupied the chair, and there was a good attendance of delegates. The Chairman, in moving tho adoption of llic annual report and balance-sheet, said that dining the season 42 social its and did'.-, had been allilialcd to the centre. This constituted a record number since the inception of tho centre, lit fact, the past vear had been a record one in cceiy *pai tieulur. There was only one society that had not allilialcd to the com-rc during the year, and that, was the, Dunback Club, and competitors had hud to lie warned, under pain »! disqualification, not lo compete at that club's meeting. They had since heard, however, that that club were taking into i ousidciatiou the advisability of joining the centre, because they had fully tealised that athletes could run- compete at unregistered meetings. Mr Kcast paid tribute to the manner in which the various country representative;, of ilia centre had done their work, and expressed the hope that- the incoming executive would keep in touch with them. .At- the lastannual meeting a committee were set up with the- object of setting up a South Island association in opposition to the New Zealand Athletic Union. At thattime some of. the delegates were not.- satisfied with flic amount of money paid to the Now Zealand Union, thinking that they did not- get. a commensurate .return for their money. Since tho League of Wheelmen. however, had seen fit to throw in their lot with the New Zealand Athletic Union, there had been no necessity to pursue the matter nf a South .Island association any fuither. 'ldler would all agree with him that ouo of the finest things the New Zealand Athletic Union had ever done wad in bringing in Mm League of Wheelmen and making the two associations a united body- He would like to say that during (,he !a«t 12 months tho union had done some really good work in briririug t<> bool: competitois who Had run and or assumed u inter, and had been putting iu incorrect performances.
