E. Lovelock with the greatest admiration,” Mr Drew said. “I was especially gratified to hear of it, for I have met Lovelock frequently during recent months, and have raced against him on several occasions. I set the pace for him in the race at White City, London, last year, when he was beaten by Cornes. the other Oxford distance runner. New Zealanders have every reason to feel proud of him.” Mr Drew, who is representing a large cotton manufacturing firm on his trip, will spend about a week in Auckland before visiting the other main centres.
