SPORTS.
(To the Editor of tho Brerting Star.) Sib,—The spring time is coming on pretty quickly, but I hear of no prbpar.ition being made to provide us with any sports such as race meetings. Our racing men purely do not mean to let us always have %> go to Auckland to enjoy^that thoroughly English amusement horse racing, tfhere ought to be plenty of funds available 6a the Thames to get »p a decent meeting in a few months from this. If an Opera Company can come down here and in a few nights lake clean away three hundred pounds from the place, surely it would not be too much to expect that as touch money could be subscribed as would give a couple of days' races. The money "would be spent amongst ourselves. "Why don't some of our racing men make a stir ? . :^i:•;■:■ " ■■ " ■ ■. • ' ' Ttjb:f.'•-,
