SUNDAY GOLF.
Hamilton Imposes Ban on Players. MINISTERS' PROTEST. Per Press Association. HAMILTON. April 12. 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 that it permit Sunday golf to be played on its grounds at Claudelands. The Ministers’ Association, in a letter to the A. and P. Association, asked that steps be taken to prevent the wounding of 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 finally it was decided by nineteen votes to nine to grant permission to the club to use the grounds, providing that no Sunday play is indulged in.
