WANTED—A GRANDSTAND

In our'editorial.columns a few weeks ago we referred to the deplorable lack of seating accommodation on our Recreation ground. The subject has proved to be one of great interest to all patrons of the various sports. The question that is being asked is "When is something to be done about it."

prpposa/1 and arc' keeping'it "steadily in view " in the hope that something will turn up to solve* the difficulty of

nnancc. Possibly there is some person or persons anvong us wiho would adA-ance the money at a low rate of interest in order to makb a name for 'himself or to advertise his particular brand of tea, ■chocolate or tobacco. On Saturday neoct there should be a record crorwd ait the benefit match and another opportunity wiil'l be* last of " collecting revenue to pay for this sbun'd business
