OLYMPIC FUND £lsoo SHORT.
LITTLE CHANCE OF SENDING ROWING CREW. Por Press Association. WELLINGTON, March 20. At a meeting of the council of the New Zealand Olympic Association tonight the results of the appeal for funds were considered. It was stated that although the closing date was pjist, a great number of returns were still outstanding, and the council had no idea what the total would be. A member stated that there was every indication that the amount would fall very far short of what was expected, so that it would take the council all its time to send even six of a team. It was decided to write to the governing bodies of sports stating that unless the necessary funds were in sight by March 31, the proposed sending of a team to this year's games would be dropped. The amount to hand was only £320, so that another £ISOO was required to send the team of six away. There did not appear any likelihood of sending any rowing representatives.
