BRITISH EMPIRE GAMES
OFFER TO NEW ZEALAND £IOOO TOWARDS TEAM’S EXPENSES. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 24. Advice has been received by the Olympic Association that the next British Empire Games will be held in England from August 3 to August 11, and that the British Empire Games Council for England is prepared to give assistance "to £IOOO towards the cost of sending a New Zealand team, and is prepared to house free of charge the complete New Zealand team during the period of the Games, and for a short period of training beforehand. A copy of the letter is to be sent to each affiliated association. It will be pointed out to them that either they, or the athletes themselves, will have to put up the money, but, in view of the generous assistance that the council in England is prepared to give, it is hoped that the associations will give wholehearted co-operation to the proposal.
