[We are not responsible for the opinions °f our correspondents.] A PROTEST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sir,— We read an advertisement in your issue of Saturday last which we hope will be the first and last of the kind we shall see published. Under the heading of " The Noble Art," the public are invited to witness a " glove contest " and to pay 2s (entrance fee) for the encouragement of two men severely punishing one another with the gloves. These exhibitions although unfortunately legal, are by the testimony of all respectable witnesses, brutal and degrading in the extreme. We therefore enter our emphatic protest again b t such demoralising and disgraceful proceedings, and we hope the public will 'endorse our protest by abstaining from patronising " the contest " so j that the complete failure of this financial I speculation may plainly demonstrate that " We will not have our township made the -scent of such degrading exhibitions." Hugh M. Murray, Presbyterian Minister, Feilding. Arthur Hussion-, Church of England Minister, Feilding. | Thomas H. Lyon, Primitive Methodist Minister, Feilding.
