IN DEFENCE OF WELLINGTON
TO THI BDITOR. Sir,— Anyone outside of Wellington reading the report in either of the daily' papers oE Mj- Scotland's flight wouM think it was blowing a gale. Not only a'-e the papers at fault but we find a photographer with Scotland trying to conquer the Wellington winds stuck in his window. No doubt there was a tricky wmd up above the hilt tops, but I yen* t.ure to say that no better weather could be had in New Zealand bar Saturday k!lst (and it was not so bad) since Mr. Scotland came here. Mr. Scotland tells us himself that hilly country in .any part of the world is difficult to fly in. Is "ClU'istchurch Sport" going to condemn *he Wellington public because a few hoodlums, who can be found in all parts, r«iused trouble? No doubt under the circumstances the same thing would have happened anywhere else. If "Christchurcb Sport" 'would take a trip round New Zealand with the Canterbury football team he would find Wellington the most impartial crowd in the country. I have been in almost every town in New Zealand and know what the crowds are like. — t am, etc , ' PATRIOTIC. ,
