EDEN PARK CAR SERVICE.

Sir, —As a visitor to Auckland, I went along to see the Rugby football match vesterdav between University and Gratton. The game was an excellent one. sparkling with brilliant passing rushes ] leasing to the eye, and worthy of tl.e pood oid jjarae. It was laiuiug when the crowd left the ground homewards, and this, I presume, had the effect of making the people take to the trams. But when, were the trams'' My party joined the lew hundreds waiting on the lines, and when a suburban towuv.ards tram came alo&g j there was a wild rush by about four times j as many people as could get on board j After waiiing a considerable time and ui. successfully attempting '" scrum our way into passing cars, our party took the next best course—walking home in the rain and dark. My object in writing this is i jml to deprecate the Rugby game in any ] •way. but to inipn-ss upon the Manage- . ment Committee tin: nfvssity of getting j tiie crowd away fi"m 'he grounds mimi reasonable promptitude. Nowadays the, public will not lake it> sport under an> j o.J conditions. and will look elsewhere ■ for an afternoon'* cnjo\meiM ii it cant; have its comfort. I'erhaps (he fault lies ; with '.he tramways depaii men! - •■•■ he. knows* Still, the fault is there. a:,d rhould lie >n the interests of oui national -ame Com or. i M:n 29"! 1921.
