j While it is our end savour t ■ give correspondents every facility tor i the free expression of their ! opinion, it should be borne in ; mind that the views expressed do j not, necessarily, reflect the | opinions of the Editor. TO THE EDITOR. SIR, May I again crave ash >rt | space in your valuable paper t * I say a word or two lo the learned ; gentleman who had the temerity j to ign himself" Common Sense” 1 under a letter which apeared in j your last issue. I In the first place, Sir, “ CotnI mon Sense ” sec-ms greatly conI cernod over the waste of your i valuable time. Is this con | siderate ' gentleman a sharej holder in the ” Press*" ■ ! Again he stab s that "no sane I individual could possibly wish ’> belong to a club in which such ■ 1 gross stupidity is displayed." Well, i f is comforting, to say i ' the least, to know that “ C mttnon j Sense ” doe? not prop *su to in - ! fliet himself on the club; he’d ! surely be the odd man. ‘I Thirdly, “ Common Sense" ad I vises me to put the question t > j the first school-boy 1 meet. Thi • i hardly sue ms necessary, as lie i I already has given us the benefit C| of his weighty opinion on the • ! reading hisMetter, I am inclined j to think th<* suggestion lot a find lone; for “Common Sense” evijdently believes that in matter •• I like this the average school buy j knows quito as much as he does, l and 1 think everybody agre ’> - | with him. Lastly, Ido not yet -j ha lie ve that the Chairman’s 1 | ruling was wrong, and 1 can r I produce other rules in support •jof my statement, so, Mister ; “Common Sense ” you can put - i that in your pipe and smo it. t j ' Yours etc, MKM BLR. j Sir, -I am surprised at the L I letters appearing in the PRESS | questioning the ruling o. the 0 chairman at the recent meeting e of the Tennis Club, in electing L . the chairman tiie meeting placed q icselfentirely under his guidance v and when he ruled against one lor two. they should have ac- '* j quiesced in the ruling. By accept--0 | ing the chairman they virtually ; pledged themselves to supporthim n | He gave a ruling on a somewha' jr his own ideas, and even it 1 i , r were wrong, what matter ? llk i" c ourts wont play any worse not k| . will they fall in, because lh»-\ jj were given a decision that ad mitted of argument.. Besides the private affairs of a private ie club should bedisen-sed by tliost c _ in meeting assembled, an i no dragged before a long sufterinj [( l public whose interest in the tenni: ie club cannot be as great as tluv |(1 of the members. Thanking yoi for inserting this. Yours, UNCOMMON SENSE lh Slß,—Nowthat the summer seasoi :e is coming on, 1, with many other ef hope to see greater inter -s' e shown in cricket and boating r, Last year both clubs dragge >e along very wearily, and little in torest was taken in tho nianlies • s of our sports. It is, a pity, a )e Huntly possesses young me: it who, with practice, could sho\ lv other country clubs a thing o I two in the.cricket or rowing line le : just ns they have on the footbal d, ! field. 1 hope that the school boy ri i will show their seniors a good ex | ample, and I look forward to th l time when the tennis courts wi j be thrown open to the pupils c )- I the public school. May Huntly 1 ir j advance in sport —clean sport ,h !be as rapid as its advance i ?e ! matter., more material is goin jt jtobe ! is the sincere wish c ai i Yours, AN OLD SPORTSMAN.
