GOOD FRIDAY'S CRICKET PROTEST TO THE EDITOR.

.Sir* — I wish to endorso Mr. C. G. Wilroii'd romnietitary re protest, cf C.fi.M.fJ. I'cgurdiiig (load Friday cricket match. He\bays "that these protests are becoming too numerous," and goodness knows if they are given effect to 1 do not know wlmt will become of the many inclivtJuals who indulge in harmJws but beneficial pastmtes on week-ends and such holidays ;is Eastertide. I fail to ;-ce what harm can be done by attending this match on the Friday. Surely it ic> not going to detract from anybody'^ piety or lead them astray. Aud \ don't think that it will be committing sin to pay an entrance "fee." Of courte, the C.13.M.5.. k doing good Work, but 1 would advise it not to dabble in nflnm, affprltng free and law-abiding citizens. Moreover, the members do not represent th<> majority of citizen*, Do the ."500 members of the C.E.M.S. take hoed of the numbers of their suburban members who cJo their little bit of gardening, carpentering, titivating, etc., on the Lord's Day? I hope this match will take place. --1 am, etc, SPORT.
