LOLLY SCRAMBLES.

(To tl»o Editor.J Sir,— M,any thanks for your leading article on tho suhjot't of my letter. No doubt it seems hard to deprive the children of one ot their favourite sports, but the daggers to which they arc exposed are so many that T gladly accept your epithet of iconoclast, and T am determined to act as one. Til commenting on "Grass Grub's" letter in your Monday's issue, I would like' to point out that .tho comparison between his strawberry bed and the Lake is absurd. In the latter. people are going daily too amd fro. Unfortunately, there «are amongst them consumptives who may expectorate oil the "green sward," as he calls it. Ts this not one of the many dangers of infection? Will -"Grass Grub'' allow even birds to go on his "strawberry bed." let alone cattle Jind ,sbei?u? f:i my opinion he does not need t» n turn his attention to pumpkins, as he has already a large one growing on his shoulders. Hy the tenor of bis anonymous letter I can guess that be is one of the school committee : ff so, T would like to hear from liini something concprning the tanks at the school.—Yours, etc., MAHCO FORTCLLA. March 22, 1010.
