Correspondence.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir. — Mr A. G. Carty, in a letter to the Star on February 14, accused the Feilding Cycling Club of officiously interfering with him in th 9 of his duties. Had Mr Carty abided by the refusal of the Feilding Borough Council to grant his application for the use of the Council Chamber for meetings at athletic bodies, the Cycling Club, although not directly . interested in the matter, would certainly not have passed any resolution with respect to his application, which was reasonable. But when Mr Carty wrote to the Stab on February 10 complaining of the treatment he had received at the hands of the Borough Council, the Cycling Clnb considered from the impertinent tone of his letter that it was necessary to protect themselves by publicly repudiating any connection with Mr Carty, bis application, or hie letter. Mr Carty's application did not contain a reference to any particular club or clubs, but simply stated that he trusted the Associations with which he was connected would avail themselves of the privilege if granted, and the Borough ' Council could not be expected to knov^ the particular athletic bodies which Mr^ Carty represented. I am, etc., E. H. Fisher, Hon. Sec. Feilding Cycling Club. Feilding, February 19, 1896.
