There has been not heavy work thus far, but we hope to reach the zenith of form at Amsterdam,” says/ Mr H. Amos, manager of the New Zealand Olympic team, in summing up the team’s progress. The swimmers and runners will probably compete in several meetings at London before their departure for Amsterdam on. July 26. The athlete, 'Miss Wilson, ran unplaced in the Middlesex Club’s Handicap on Saturday, but Mr Amos was notsurprised at that, as she is not yet in championship form. Mr Amos is endeavouring to arrange for British athletes to tour New Zealand in 1929, but there was no announcement to be made at present, owing to financial problems and the difficultv of securing leave. He is also negotiating for a month’s tour of the New ZeVandens in South Africa en route home.
