LAND AND WATER.

, An effort is beidg made to put the Working of' the C^ribbfook Ground Company's property on ia< sounder, basis, and we trust it will meet with success, ; .In the prospectus, of Dunedin Amateur* Ground Company, Limited, which is being formed for the purpose of acquiring the Carisbropk grOuod^and other.assets of jbhe firat1 named company, fall particulars of the improved scheme for successfully, working the ground are set forth. I< is well known in athletic ciroles i that .the Oarisbrook Company, in consequenceof I too , great an expenditure, on their property and , other, .causes, have not been -able to carry their j venture to financial success, but as the property! I oan now be acquired in good workable order for i the comparatively small suiti of £900, aDd astild I certainty of. increased patronage from cycling, 1 i football, and other clubs seems assured, the' ; hew : i company, if successfully formed^ughtr to, start * with good prospects. Its' promoters are actuated' more by a commendable public spirit than -by j any wish to make a profit put of their shares ; ! and the younger "generation, who more directly i benefit by the existence- of • such, a ground for^ practice and for athletic contests, should now 1 !corae. forward and, help this project. Were all i those wboi are directly interested in athletics to t give it their countenance and.support, the share : i holdings would individually be very small. |
