AMATEUR ATHLETICS
— , — MEETING OF COUNCIL. DOMINION RECORDS APPROVED. (By Tek-grapn--Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 7. A statement- of receipts and expenditure -of the Lermonu-Golding tour was received from the Canterbury [ Amateur Athletic Association at a meeting of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association to-night. The two meetings in Christchurch showed a loss amounting to £lOl 0s 10d. 1 In asking the council to make good the losses the secretary said it would be remembered that the Canterbury Centre took the early meetings when the athletics were more or less unknown in New Zealand and when they were not in the best of form, and it was considered that a good deal of the later success of the tour was a result of the careful manner in which the> centre nursed .the visitors. The council decided to request the Wellington Centre to forfeit £6O ol its profit of £lB4 17s 4d, which combined with half of the New Zealand Council’s share (£36) would compensate Canterbury for its loss. The following were granted New Zealand records on application from the Wanganui-Taranaki Centre: Don Evans, Taihape, 1000 yards, 2 min. 18 lrSsec. Miss Thelma Hench, Wellington, 100 yards. 11 i-osec. Wellington Centre relay team, one mile (880, 440, 220 and 220 yards), 3min. 35 2-ssec.
