A SIGHT IN NEW PLYMOUTH RECREATION GROUND.
To the Eilitor. Sir,—Xe.w Plymouth's Recreation Ground, an exquisite gem, its beauties almost all pure New Zealand, is rightly the pride of the town. As a visitor one naturally admires the beautiful features of the Park, but just at this time of world stress and -conflict the finest sight in the Recreation Gorund is to be seen just inside the Liardet Street entrance. There one comes across the sports ground, now overgrown with long grass aiul weeds. The roller which used to keep cricket pitches in order is lmrd to find in its snug nestling of greenery. There is no use for it to-day. New Plymouth's athletes have a greater task in hand! They are evidently too busy doing' their duty to the Empire to concern themselves about the state of the cricket pitches, and it is fine testimony to the practical patriotism of New Plymouth that the playground of its young men is now deserted. All honor to your town.—l am, etc., CHAS. E. WHEELER. Wellington.
