PROFITS OF THE "ALL-GOLDS."

Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 15. Among those who arrived from Sydney by the Moeraki this morning was Mr H. J. Palmer, manager of the New Zealand professional football team which lately toured the North of England. Mr Palmer left the team in Australia, where a number of matches are to be played, and has come to New Zealand for a brief business visit, his intention being to return to Sydney next week. It was pointed out to Mr Palmer by a Post representative that a balance-sheet forwarded from London had been published, purporting to show a profit on the tour of £6279. According to Mr Palmer, the figures in a number of cases are under-estimated. The men each recived more than the amount of £216 therein stated. He must, he added, be excised from giving information on the subject in the absence of direct authority from the committee of management, which had not authorised any official publication of figures. Mr Palmer added that he and the members of the team were all in good health. Smith had thrown in his lot with the Oldham Club. He did not receive a regular salary, but was paid so much a mateft^ * McGregor, formerly of Petone, had gone, into partnership with a member of the Gloucester cricket team in the athletic outfitting line. Gleeson was visiting friends in Ireland. — ~
