MR PECKOVER’S LAMENT.
To the Editor of the Times. Sir, —It appears to mo that almost every man in Gisborne thinks he can run your paper better than you can manage it yourself. Mr Peckovcr has his ideas on tho subject, and other correspondents have their own notions. I noticed that one writer complained that you had too much sporting news in your paper, but I am not of that opinion. I look forward to tho Times every morning, and the sporting nows is what I take most delight in. Give me a nicely written report of a steeplechase or a sensational dividend, and I am content. I never hear the sporting community complaining when they see a short account of doings at the churches on Sunday, although not many of them read it. It might do them good if they read it, and it might not. Men of Mr Peekovor’s calibre must remember that it takes all sorts and conditions to make a world, and a newspaper editor should bear this in mind, and endeavor to cator for all. Trusting you will find room for this short note, I am, etc., Toi’Tuokn. Makaraka, August 21, 1901.
