Sutherland In the team, but on account of tliere being no hop, step, and jump among tho Australasian championships to bo decided, his name was subsequently dropped. Lindsay Is already In Australia. G. Davidson, of Auckland, was also considered, but while recognising that he Is something out of the ordinary, tile selectors decided against him on the score of expense, seeing also that Lindsay, who is a sprinter of equal merit, Is already in Australia.
