ATHLETICS.
The Australasian Championships.
Betting Denounced.
(Beceived To Day, at 12.6 a.m.)
Melbourne, This Day.
Lord Mayor McEacharn yesterday welcomed tho members of the Australasian Association. A hearty reception was accorded to the New Zealanders. Ross stated that Smith, Laurie, and himself were in splendid Condition. Unfortunately, Simpson was in such high fever owing to vaccination last Saturday that he was a most improbable starter. Pollock will arrive to-day. The competitions will start at 2.30 p.m. each day. The Lord Mayor, in welcoming the visiting athletic teams, spoke very strongly against betting in connection with amateur sport. Where it was permitted, true sportsmen should show their disapprobation by not attending.
