THE CHELMER-STREET RESERVE.
TO THE EDITOl!
g lßj —Your correspondent, " A Lover of Nature," asks the question, Why should the old cricket ground remain useless ? I consider that a. proper question to put before the Borough Council. The youths of the town improved the Chelmer-street reserve, and are now driven from it. Does he expect them to improve another and eventually get treated in the same way again ? He says, <( Let the botanical wardens be a botanical gardens ; I think he must mean, let Oamaru be a botanical garden, for it- will soon become one, if the gardener goes on cutting out tracks the way he is doing at present. But, perhaps that is where the much-needed morgue is going to be erected. If so, I would recommend "A Lover of Nature as a signboard, for I think he would be very suitable, as his sentiments are so flowery. If that were done, old sports could adjourn from the football field to the brow of the hill, and, without pretence, enjoy the aspect. The change might be beneficial to the " valuable property," and probably enlighten the tastes of an ignorant Old Sport.

Holloway's remedies cau be used by such sufferers to their very great advantage, as they are mild in action, and certain in their effects. No one need, therefore, lose a day's work when using them, a matter of consequence to those whose daily bread depends on daily toil' <•
