MR CLARK AND THE " WAIKATO TIMES "

Sir, — Allovr me to express my humble contrition fur having dared to giv« utterance to any view antagonistic to the management of the Waikato I imes. If you will permit me 1 will «xplain a lute more fully, wh»t at fi'Bt glance might be taken as petty jf»lou«y on my part in refererence to the preference given to the Masonic »eport. My observation wa- 1 , that complaining on ft previous oianion that no report from the Farmers (Jl<ib bad appeared m the TiWES, we were politely informed, by th^ I iMts, through their reporter, that the Farmers Clv • waa not the whole of Waikato. I simply asked your ropoter if tl>e Times, considered the Masonio body the whole of Wailtato. In reference (o tho remaining charge, we are iuformed in other words, that tbe TiMua is tbe paragon of country papers, we are further iuf'ormed, that our local piper ia not in a josition once iv the year to give its readers ft repo r t of (to the farmer) one of tha moit important events of the year, at twelve houra notice. For the information received, I think every farmer will be thaukfull, at it ■how* us that it if neoess»ry when any important event takes place in Auckland, tuat wo can acquire knowledge of it by ordering our papers from Auckland oil those special occasions. Apologizing for trespasumur, on your valuable spate, I am, Ac, >rorgb £. Glakk The Grrove, Cambridge. Decem. 1876. [We accept the apology coutaitied in first paragraph of Mr Olsrku letter, iv the namu spirit in which it is offeied Editor W.T ]
