BARRACKING AT EDEN PARK.

I would not have wasted time nor more of the "Star's" valuable space in replying to your correspondent "Wisden," but I fed eo angry at bis remarks that even mv inherent chivalry will not restrain me. "fffaden's" statement that lie has "followed cricket for thirty years, has read a library of books on the subject, and has seen bijpcrickVfc iiv-New Zealand, Australia. and England" makes sad reading when one thinks of tlie vast amount of good such a deep thinker might 'have accomplished at tbe business end of an ordinary spade or shovel during that period. If "Wisden" cared to seek, my address he is entitled to receive it, and I would be absolutely thrilled and honoured to meet a gentleman who had performed the phenomenal feat of reading a library of books about cricket. In ease I am deprived of such a pleasure, I hasten to reply to "Wisden's" question as to "what I would have felt like if, as a boy, I had teen bowled for a 'duck' and lookers on had jeered at me." The answer is, "Positively rotten." AUC'KIANDER,
