AMATEUR ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
DEFUNCT COUNCIL'S DELAY. WELLINGTON, June 17. A conference is being arranged for Thursday of next week between the executive officers of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association , and Mr Richard Coombes, Australasian representative on the International Board that controls the Olympic games. It is desired to obtain special representation for New Zealand on the board. Another matter that will be discussed by the association representatives next Thursday will foe the proposed New Zealand representative team for the Australasian championship meeting at Brisbane. The council is experiencing financial trouble through the extraordinary delay on the part of the defunct council, which once existed at Chris tcimi'eh, in handing over to the official body the funds ■which it was ordered to dispose of in this manner. The present council has arranged that no delay, vexatious or otherwise, will be allowed to interfere with the sending of a team, but the delay of the Christchurch people in obeying the instructions they received is being criticised unsparingly.
