Open Column.
To the JSditor of the HawJce's Bay Herald. Sib, — I feel great pleasure in stating — having been present at the sports in commemoration of | separation — that more amicable or kindly feeling I could not have been exemplified. The joyous I dance and laughing song went merrily to our noble 65th baud, and truly do they deserve great I praise from us, their fellow-colonists. In all future aifaira of the kind, or any other, I would ! most sincerely and earnestly enforce that the military use the power of making rings, whereby accidents are not so likely to occur and the sports are better seen and appreciated. The accident of to-day, where Mr. Thomas's boy was fearfully struck by a stone in one of the sports, would have been obviated. My dear Sir, — In all sports where accidents do occur it casts a gloom ever .to be remembered, and as the means are in our hands, I say, let in future law be enforced to make our pleasures without the alloy that must embitter one of our hearths. Separation.
