ATHLETIC.
THE OLYMPIC GAMES. NEW ZEALAND REPRESENTATION. [Per Press . Association.] WELLINGTON, April 13. Although the Wellington Centre of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association declined to endorse the proposal to send Murray and Kerr to represent New Zealand at the Olympian Games in London, there is reason to believe that the scheme will yet succeed. Each man's expenses are estimated roughly at £100, and athletic enthusiasts in Christchurch are reported to have already collected £60. A meeting, to be presided over by Dr Newman, has been called for Wednesday evening, when the proposal will again be discussed by those who are anxious to see Kerr sent to the great contest.
The following are the subscriptions from 10s upwards received towards the expenses of Messrs Kerr, fiaskins- and Murray on their approaching visit to England to compete in the Olympian Games :— Licensed Victuallers' Association £10 10s, Canterbury Automobile Association £5, " Lyttelton Times'' Company £2 2s, "Press" Company £2 2s United Service Hotel £1 Is, E.
