ATHLETICS.

IRISH OLYMPIC GAMES. A NOTABLE GATHERING. , By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Particulars of the proposed Irish Olympic Games in Dublin next August have reached Mr. M. J. Sheahan in a letter from Mr. J. J. Welch, director of the Failtean Games. "It should be clearly understood," states Mr. Welch, "that the games of Gael have always been kept aloof from the political conflict. Prominent men of all views are working together to ensure the success of this great Irish athletic event, and it is the earnest desire of all that this common platform on which all Irishmen may meet should continue to be non-political. The promoters suggest the formation of committees in each country to procure capital to send competitors to Ireland. The promoters cannot defray any travelling or other expenses, but a transport sub-committee is engaged in obtaining concessions from shipping companies and railways. The competitions are open to all amateurs born inlreland, or one of whose parents were born in Ireland, or two of whose grandparents on one side were born there,"
