To the Editor of the Hawke's Bay Herald.
iSlEj^-I .readjjhe other day an. the Auckland paper a letter headed " Where is the mail " 1 Could you answer a question almost as interesting to us poor Napier folks, — Where is the race course? Report says that nothing has been done by the stewards — that they are divided between the .ground at Clive and Napier. Fine idea, very ! Did the town people subscribe for races to be held 11 miles away, and that too in addition to the risk of crossing the river in a sinking punt ; besides, where would we find Gill's ale and Ferrers' brandy at the other side of the Ngaruroro ? There is a good course to be had not far from Maney's public house, to which there is a good road, and the stewards had better see to it at once. The public are watching them, as well as, Sir, Yours, &a, Outsidbe.
