(London Times.—Sydney Sun Special.) LONDON, Sept. 2.
Mr Hugh Macintosh's scheme for an Empire team is warmly welcomed by the majority of amateur associations in Britain, but the Central Council is disposed to insist that England must not co-operate with the dominions. Lieutenant Blair, secretary of the fund, in an interview, said that England ought to regain her lost laurels without the assistance of the colonies. If she won supremacy with tho assistance of Australia, European countries may say: You could not do it alone." Tho Duke of Westminster submits Mr Macintosh's proposal to the executive on Wednesday.
