IJOVS AT CRICKET MATCHES. I was a sjwctator at tho rc*cent representative cricket match between and Auckland, but I mind t;ay that a j»reat deal of the enjoyment, wru-j taken out of Die match by the woy in which the small boy was allowed to behave. I certainly think that rll schooboys should attend tlicec matches, ami pick up what knowledge they can. but i strongly object to tho <lemonstralion they made ns each batsman returned to tho pavilion. Not only so, but durin" the match, nnmbcns of <smaJl bovts rushed here, # there, ami everywhere. Ajjain. most of the .seats were taken up by them, ami people who paid at the had to aland *o that the small boy might rest his weary limb*>. As a cure. I would suggest that the cricket authorities ree that all children keep to the eastern hide of tho reserve during the pro"resj> of lepresentativ© matches.—SPUßT. EFIiERAL VICTORIES IX KXGLAXD. ' It scM?ms nt first sijrht that a change has come over the BriMbh elector**, and that (hey are voting soliil for liberal Labour candidates. In inv opinion they have followed Xcw Zealand, knowing how successfully this country ha* been run on Liberal* linof>. On December 7th. I forwarded twelve of vour papers, giving the result of the elections hero, and a photo of the Right Hon. R. .1. Scddon, to the following (ami it may be that the article Sjas been copied bv the Tendon dailies);—Hi* Majesty the King. Sir il. <*.

In the Zealand Year Book for IJu.u page I fiml an extraordinary t,ib!e to het forth (he amount ot (In* trade of each Au*?Tralasiaxi Sta* A with the United Kingdom. I give it to the nearest mfuion.

This ls very ingenious ami very giatiiying to New Zealand pride, until the dodge is exposed, Lut there i-' not a word in the year bool: to warn nn unsuspecting render. My object in writing is not to dice red it the compiler ot the year book, who no doubt copied tho table in good faith. Probablv the original framer made it clear that ho only included certain things, but this caution was somehow left out of our year book. All 1 want is to warn your iciders to accept no fstaiiistics until they know accurately how they are arrived at; and not to believe* that thev prove anything until they have heart! the other side,’—WA 1 RIMA.

ALLEGED DUMMYISM. Some rime section of land in the district in which I redde was balloted for, T!Te tmecesstu? applicant being purely amT dimply a dummy, tho fact being made no A friend of mine who vw a benn fide appficonUfor this section fcelw dcH*r>jv wrongeu—and 1 .submit rightly so—that nn applicant should have several dninmys acting for him. and tutin this a dummy drew the section, and from that day to this has not tombed the section; *nd as a matter ot fact (he would-be-owner has been working on tho /section, and will. 1 understand, apply shortly to have the transfer c.xocutod. Now, the Government range;- and Land Board member know* fully wt>H of this glaring piece of di::::m>Tjm, and it is to hoped that they will hare enough bacuuonc to refuse transfer nnd compel cither the dummy to reiiido on the section, or, at any rate, take charge, or have the section balloted tor yigain, und let tho Land Board insist that every applicant bo a bena fide one.—STtkP Dt'MAISUSiI.
