CRITICISM
THE OLYMPIC APPEAL
SYMPATHY ALIENATED. I Pel Pres? Association, I DUNEDIN, March 27. During a meeting of sporting men which decided to constitute the Dunedin branch of the Olympic Association to make a last appeal for £lOOO towards the fund, the Olympic Council at Wellington was criticised by Air E. C. Fairbairn, who said that the Council had been far too ambitious and had squandered money in expensive literature} thus alienating the sympathy coming to it from the sporting community at Dunedin.
Altogether the whole movement had been in quite bad odour. He thought that the appeal had been started too late, on wrong lines, and with wrong ambitions.
