CORRESPONDENCE
(To the Editor.) Sir>— With your kind permission* I should like to ask who is responsible for what I consider a most iniquitous thing which I have never yet known,in any portion of. New Zealand. I was a. visitor to your--■beautiful Park to-day, a.t the sports/ there. After - paying a shilling to be admitted,, and wanting; to send ai wire, away, I approached; lie man at the gate for a pass. He politely told me that he had instructions from the committee not to issue any,, and people wanting to leave the ground would have to pay a shilling to be re-admitted. This I think an imposition—to ask one to pay three shillings for the afternoon and evening's sport. I think those who are responsible for that class of officialdom very soon spoil sport. Having had much to do with ' sports in Hawke's Bay, I have never before heard of the same treatment being meted out to anyone. Hoping' a more able pen than mine will take the matter up, and thanking you in. anticipation.— I am, etc., GEORGE H. HODD.
