Visitors to Inglewood will do well to take notice that instructions have been given to prosecute any and everyone who crosses the rai way line in the middle of the town by or near the railway station, except where the streets cross it. This comes after the public here have been habituated to the use of a turnstile in the fence west of the goods shed, and generally male ng the railway yard a ready means of crossing from one side to the other of the central business part of the town. i.ii The Inglewood Athletic Club has decided to hold this year’s meeting on Thursday, February 22, for which occasion, with the determination to get a really good day’s sports, the prize money has been increased to £75 from £55.
