Some time ago M r Cargill waited upon the Park Trustees en behalf of the Cricket Clubs in thedistrii'l and asked the Trust to accept gate fees on the occasion of Association matches in lieu of the Club fee previously charged. The 'trust agreed to M rCargill's request and on Saturday last placed a man at (lie Park (rales, to collect au entrance fee in accordance with this arrangement. The public, however, refused to pay the fee and forced themselves into the grounds. It is ;i question whether the public were not justified in doing this as Ihe Secretary of the Park Trust did not consider it nercssarv on this occasion to notify that a Gate charge would be made in accordance with the Act. Apparently the arrangement made at the instanccoftlic Cricket Clubs is not likely to work smoothly, and it would be well for the Cricket Association to make some oilier tenns wbich "'ill he less open to object ion.
