ATHLETICS.
GOING TO CANADA.' A definite statement that a team of New Zealand athletes will be going to the Empire Gaines at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in August, was made at Auckland on Saturday, by Mr E. G. Guy, a member of tho executive of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association. There was, said Mr Guy, a wrong impression about that New Zealand athletes would not be represented at the games because the bulk of the grant made from Canada would be devoted towards sending away an eightoar crow. The fact was, however, that the N.Z. A.A.A. had a substantial overseas fund, and a representative team would be dispatched at the association’s own expense without any assistance from Canada. If there had been cycling events at the games, a cyclist would also have been sent, Mr Guy. added.
