SUNDAY GOLF.

WELLINGTON CITY FATHERS < • "HOLED OUT.'? By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, October 20. 'At a meeting of the City Council Reserves Committee the chairman was asked why people who were indulging in golf on the municipal links on Simday had not been prosecuted. The chairman explained that it had been discovered that a "nice" point was involved, and. the question had 'been raised whether the Council had power to forbid, by the by-law, the playing of golf on the reserve. Ho pointed out that section 347 of the Municipal Corporations Act provided, "Inasmuch as it is inexpedient that questions of religion or morals should be regulated by by-law, no by-law shall be valid if a breach thereof would involve a breach only of some religious or moral rule." The chairman added that many citizens who had this section "up their sleeves" were only too anxious that their rights in tile matter of Sunday golf should bo put to the test, and the Council seemed to be in an equivocal position. After discussion, it was decided to take no action, leaving it to anyone who felt aggrieved to start the machinery of the law to get a decision on the ease.
