NEW PLAYING FIELDS
Junior cricketers will this season hay« the benefit of several additional wickets. The Parks, and Reserves Department of tho Corporation has teen busy ' during the last few weeks levelling oft the top of the hill overlooking Tauera crescent, cutting off twelve feet or so of spoil over a considerable area, and using that spoil ■for the filling-in of a gully, thus providing a level playing area sufficient for the laying-out of a couple of wickets or a football field in winter. Two wicket* are being prepared at Prince of Wake Park, a couple more at the Nairn Street Reserve, and two are being laid down at Seatoun, where in previous years only one has been available. Every year the demand for more wickets increases, and while a few years ago a dozen filled the bill, cricketers to-day are asking for double the number as a *
minimum, and as many more as can be provided to fit them out really comfortably.
