The Telegraph suggests that the athlctio alliance between Australia and New Zealand is threatened. A conference in Adelaide will consider New Zealand's grievance, which is that she is compelled to pay many more visits to Australia than are returned. A Victorian, proposal is mooted to drop New Zealand from the Australasian Union, as tho dissection of tho Dominion into provincesl places the Australian States at a disadvantage, the suggestion being, that the provinces, should enter separate teams instead of one team representing the whole Dominion. In the event of New Zealand dropping out it is suggested that an invitation be extended to New Zealand to participate in the championship meetings-, provided the destination of Australian honors are not affected thereby. New Zealand's separate representation at the Olympic Games is interpreted in some quarters as a desire to shake off Australian ties.
