ATHLETICS.
END OF SPRINGBOKS’ TOUR. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington,, Feb. 28. The Springbok athletes, together with E. G. Sutherland, New Zealand long jump, high jump and javelin champion, left for Auckland by train to-day, en route for Sydney and South Africa. Mr. Emery, manager of the team, said: “It has been a great tour. We have no regrets, and we leave with some very, very happy memories of fine times, the finest possible time that any athletes could wish to have. Everything possible has been done for us. The sportsmanship has been wonderful.” The team had done well, the meetings had been well conducted, and the only complaint he had to make throughout the whole tour, it was really not a complaint, was in connection with the handicapping at New Plymouth. The judgment used in that direction was not good. He thought the setting up of a board of handicappers would do a great deal of good and would prevent dissatisfaction among runners.
