SUNDAY GOLF

(To. the Editor.) ' ■' Sir,—l am certain that tlie whole of jthe isensible and, broad-minded, , and (Quito as religious, citizens, will agree .with-. Dr. Cameron in the clever and , '.sensible manner in which he.has put : {this matter before -them in his letter . |to ' you in your issue of Wednesday 'last. Leaving for. a moment the question of the game being a Sunday one i or not, I ask what right havo those religious sects Tvho have taken upon themselves to dictate to the public who don't sco -with their'; oblique vision •what they , are or arc not to do on Sunday ? Do they mean to say that they" are the only , religious'people in . -the community? If so, let tliem go to "jLyall Bay on any fine Sunday and see jthe numbers of the softer sex disport- . ,ing themselves in very light and airy — costumes, and then ask" themselves ...whether any ill feelings have been ."v jarpused. If they have, the sooner they. leave the locality the .better. Tho next ;; thing that would bo heard would bo a deputation to tho council to pass a bylaw to restrict the use of. bathing cos- * tumes, as it was too much for their /• Feelings. It is thoroughly -well known, '.that many by-laws made by the counoil have been proved invalid when tested ill the Law Courts. ' Slay I suggest that when that now proposed is passed into law 6teps be at once taken >. to tost the validity in-the Courts? I" >- am sure' all the heathens will come for- '? iward liberally and help toward the ".. [cost. Thank goodness, the citizens will .'J. (have an opportunity next year of re- . placing those narrow-minded and bigoted citizens who cannot bear to see i others taking part ill healthy recreation. It would be great fun' if some y golf players went on to the links on a Sunday, and played with a walkingstick and tennis ball, and then see what , the goody-goodies would do.—l am, I NO HATE FOR THE FAIRISEE.
