CORRESPONDENCE.

We'are not responsible for the statements 'or opinions of correspondents. TO THE EDITOR Of- THH i/ANAWATU HJtfULD. Sib,— As a mentber of the Manawatu Bowing Club I v.ish-io make a few remarks regarding the purchase of two pleasure boats for tho Club. 1 think the Secretary had no right whatever," or the committee either, (if juch- exist),' to i rder.Uo boats for the Club in the manner they have. I paid my guinea for a Bps Ing- Club/ like ft good many others, and-thq{sf»creiaiy should ha\e called a meeting of member*. before throwing the money away, f should like to know how .the Club is'gorßij' to exist, if we do not go in for racing (boats, the same, as the old Club used to< own. It stands to reason thai the boats ordered by the- Secretary will never compete in any races, at either Wanganui or 'Wellington, as they would have no show— unless they liked to make a show. How are we going to raise sufficient money again to /go in for- an inrigged or ou trigged, boat? l'propi>se that the Secretary call ail extraordinary meeting of the Club to cancel; the order. If he does not, I »m sure ttiete axe many now who will not care to Belong'to such a Club again, I think the members of the Club might hav« beep considered. r .. ; I am, &'c. ' . M»MUE».
