THE SPORTS GROUNDS.

MEETING OF COMMITTEE. A meeting of the New Plymouth Sports Grounds Committee was held on Monday evening, Mr. A. L. Humphries presiding over a good attendance. A very hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr. F. U. Ferry, who had organised the recent concert in Pukekura Park. A report was presented with reference to the improvements to the sports ground, general satisfaction being expressed at the wonderful way in which the new grass had come along. In fact it was explained that that day the grass had been mown and was of sufficient quantity to warrant it being carted away for making hay or ensilage. The question of arranging any casual labor necessary was left in the hands of the chairman.

With a view to improving the boundary lines of the sports ground, Messrs. Duncan and Davies have generously donated a number of flowering gums. The committee would be glad to receive similar donations from others interested in the general improvement of the grounds. It was decided to arrange for a concert in the park on Saturday evening, March 11, and Messrs. J. Kenny and F. C. Ferry will be asked to take charge of the musical part of the programme.

If satisfactory arrangements can be made ther£ will also be a fireworks display during the evening.
