THE RECREATION GROUND.
To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir—Can you inform me for what reason the lower branches of the gum trees skirting the South Dunedin Recreation Grounds are being lopped off? Common sense would have dictated the cropping of the tops to cause the trees to be better furnished underneath ; but clearing away those branches which afford protection to visitors on breezy days like this seems monstrous. It will be impossible, .especially for invalids, to take advantage of the seats on the ground when the wind blows up the Harbor, as the open space will act as a funnel tnmugh which the wind will be draWn with double violence, lam., Amknitv. December 30.
