DANNEVIRKE HUNT CLUB. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 19. In the Hunt Club Hurdles, at the Dannevirke Hunt Club’s meeting, Diamond Nap 10.13 and Sailor King 9.7, were omitted. ATHLETICS. HARRIERS FOR AUSTRALIA. WELLINGTON, June 19. A meeting of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association was held to-night, Mr A. T. Davies (chairman) presiding. It was decided to hold the New Zealand Crosscountry Championship meeting in Canterbury on August 4. Mr Heenan moved that a team, comprising seven selected men, should be sent to compete in the Australasian cross-country championship and that the Council give £5O towards expenses. He urged that it was quite time the Council realised its responsibilities towards harriers. The Council was unanimous on the question of sending a team, but the amount of subsidy caused some discussion and the matter was left over. Regarding the selection of a team, it was thought other centres should have a voice in the matter, also that it would stimulate their help and interests. It was decided that the secretary should write to the Canterbury, Otago and Wellington centres to nominate a selector.
