AUSTRALASIAN REPRESENTATION.
Press Association.
AUCKLAND, December 22. A suggestion that New Zealand should join with Australia'in establishing a fund with which to send an Australasian team of athletes to compete at the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1916 is contained in a letter which the Mayor (Mr C. J. Parr) has received from the Lord Mayor of Sydney. The latter mentions that at a large gathering of influential citizens held in Sydney it was decided that such a fund should be established, each of tho Australian States and New Zealand starting funds the proceeds of which might be placed together in an Australasian fund when the time came for the selection of a team from the various parts of Australia and New Zealand. Mr Parr remarked to a reporter that providing it was possible for New Zea- ■ land to join in an Australasian movement on a satisfactory basis he thought the suggestion might be worth acting upon. .
