AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
LERMOND-GOLDING TOUR. RECORD GRANTED. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 7. A statement of receipts and expenditure of the Lcnuond-Golding tour was received from tire Canterbury Amateur Athletic Association at a meeting of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association tonight. The two meetings held in Christchurch .showed a loss amounting to £lOl 9s lOd. In asking the council to make good their losses, the secretary said that it would be remembered that the Canterbury Centre took the early meetings when the athletes were more or less unknown in New Zealand, and when they were not in the best of form, and it was considered that a good deal of the later success of the tour was a result of the careful manner in which the centre nursed the visitors. On the motion of the chairman (Mr R. W. M'Villy, it waa decided to request the Wellington Centre to forfeit £6O of its profit of £lB4 17s_4d, which, combined with half of the New Zealand Council’s share (£36).- would compensate Canterbury for its loss. The following were granted New Zealand records on- application from the Wanganui-Taranaki Centre:—Don Evans (Taihape), 1000 yards, 2min 18 l-ssec; Miss Thelma Hench (Wellington), 100 yards, 11 l-ssec; Wellington Centre Relay team, one mile (880, 440, 200, and 200 yards), 3min 35 2-ssee.
