SUNDAY PLAY NOT ALLOWED
SPIRITED HAMILTON DISCUSSION. GOLF ON A. AND P. SHOWGROUNDS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Hamilton, Last Night. The ethics of Sunday play were again brought into the limelight at Hamilton to-day when a spirited discussion followed a proposal to the Waikato Agricultural and Pastoral Association to permit Sunday golf to be played on their grounds at Claudelands. The Minister’s Association in a letter to the A. and P. Association asked that such steps be taken to prevent the wounding of the religious susceptibilities and convictions of nearby residents and registered a strong protest against the proposal on account of the close proximity of several churches and the fact that the showgrounds were in a residential area. Varied views were expressed by members and it was decided by 19 votes to nine to grant permission to a club to use the grounds providing no Sunday play were indulged in. •
