LACROSSE.
Sir,— l .JioHce your correspondent, " Vates"?!iri-is record of sport, saya that Laorosse and Polo will not become general on account of tbe expensive na ure of the material used for play. Whatever the expense may be connected with the game of Poio I know not, but of Lacrosse, the Frontier Club can say that besides an admission fee for defraying the expenses of notices of meetings, &b., and bars, seven shillings and sixpence was all that wai paid for a Crosse or stick for each m moer. As these s icks were imnoried from Canada; specially for the Frontier Cub, and ome by the moi expensive route ; the Pacific Railway to Frisco, and thence by mail Bteamer to Auckland, it may he presumed that a less charge than the above will procure the sticks, when imported m quantity via England.— l am, &c, Lacbossb.
