•— (We are not responsible (or opinions expressed by correspondents.) REP. FOOTBALL MATCHES. (To the Editor.) Sir,—l notice, the Auckland rep. football match in to be held on that wind-blown, uncomfortable, and altogether unsuitable ground known as the racecourse. I get my knowledge from the press reports, where it is stated that £lO is to be .spent in extra stand accommodation. Now what does nil this mean '.' Why simply this, that spectators, it they wish to see the mutch,' will have to lie bled, t presume, to the extent of 'is. one for entrance, the other far the stand ; and this in spite of tht fact that ive have an excellent ground where all ran sec for the entrance fee of Is.

I understand the Turanaki Union took some £701) in Kate money on the occasion o( the licitish iiiutxrh. Now, this Hum represents a good many people, nol one-sixth of whoir. could have sect the play had it lr.'en on tho racecourse; and «f there is anything liko |]a' gate on the occasion of the Auckland match, not onefourth of the people will he able to see the play. So to. be on the safy side, and to save disappointment, it. will be as 'ivell to malic up our minds to slay away and save our money, till such a time as the football officials learn to study the public who lind the money t» then, going.—l am, etc., ANTI-HUMBUG.
