AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
NEW ZEALAND COUNCIL MEETING. (Per United “ress Association.) WELLINGTON, July 2. The Council of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association met to-night. Mr H. Amos, manager of the New Zealand Olympic team, is to be requested to approach prominent international athletes with a view to seeing whether any are available for a possible tour of New Zealand next summer, but such soundings are not to be taken as binding the New Zealand Council. The council had mainly in mind a visit from an American or English team, and in the former especially Lloyd Hahn. An invitation to Miss N. Wilson and S. Lay to visit South Africa has been received from Capetown, but the manager of the team is to report to the council before anything definite is done. The need for statistics of contestants in athletic events was stressed to see whether athletics in New Zealand was going ahead or not. Notice of motion was given that each club on the date of its annual meeting should forward to its centre a list of registrations and data so that athletics generally could be strengthened throughout the country.
