OLYMPIC GAMES
AUSTRALIAN REPRESENTATION. (Feu United Pnuss Association.) AUCKLAND, December 22, The 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) lias received from tho 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 the Australian States and New Zealand starting funds, the proceeds of which might bo placed together in an Australasian fund for use when the time came for the selection of a team from various parts of Australia and New Zealand. Mr Parr remarked to a reporter that, pro viding it was possible for New Zealand to join in an Australasian movement on a satisfactory basis, he thought that the suggestion might be worth acting upon.
