THE PUBLIC AND THE JOCKEY CLUB.
TO THE EDITOK.
gin,—Your leaderette of August 31 was read by me, in common with others, with feelings of the liveliest satisfaction. Supposing for an instant that the.' wouldhe monopolistic action of the club had been supported by the Judge, then as well equally might the Domain Board refuse the public entry to our parks, domain and museum, or the city authorities similar access to our squares or river reserves. The law, as laid down by our respected judge, ia that the Christchurch Racecourse is, by virtue of the original Queen’s Crown grant to the late Provincial Council of Canterbury, a public racecourse absolutely. The Canterbury Jockey Club are merely, trustees and custodians for the public, and" have no proprietary rights whatsoever.—l. am, &c., * PEESERVITAS. '
