ATHLETICS IN NEW ZEALAND

CANTERBURY LOSS MADE GOOD. DOMINIOON RECORDS MADE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. = A statement of receipts and expenditure of the Lermond-Golding tour was received from the Canterbury Amateur Athletic Association at a meeting of the New r Zealand Amateur Athletic Association to-night. The two meetings in Christchurch showed a loss amounting to £lOl. 9s 10d. In asking the council to make good the losses the secretary said it would be remembered that’ the Canterbury Centre took -the early meetings when the athletics 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.

.The council 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, 2rain. 18 l-osec.

Miss Thelma Heneh, Wellington, 100 yards, 11 l-ssec. ' * Wellington Centre relay team, one mile (880, 440, 220 and 220 yards), 3min. 35 2-ssec.
