sitting numiegons petitions on the sub- jest were presented by members, most of the petitions being Non-conformist bodies and others against the coutimianes of Sun. day ganies.

Mr. W. C. Johnson asked the chairman of the Parks and Open Spaces Commition how many petitions had been received un the subject.

Lady Trustrum Eve, in reply, siated that the figures were as follows:

Mrs. Hudson Lyall said there was some- thing wrong in the upbringing of young children if it was believed that they wer wasting time and getting into mischief - less they were playing "ball.

She main- tained that there was no dmand for Sint- day gaines.

There was also a large body of religions prople who be lieved in worshipping in the earlier part. of the day and playing in the later part of Sunday.

Mr. F. L.
