"We do not expect to go so far as to get the ground allotted to us to-night," the Chairman ob- served. He thought it would be as well if they appointed a repre-i sentative Committee to draw up la scheme in order that they could' place something definite before the Government.
Mr. Logan assured the meeting of the support of the Victoria Recreation Club.
The Hon. Mr. Fletcher thought the term "stadiun" was a rather misleading one. What he under- stood was now proposed was a large recreation ground with suit- able buildings.
Capt. Neville opposed the idea of taking over the pelo ground. If n stadium, in the generally accepted sense of the word, were placed) there, it would considerably reduce the playing area. Besides, it was quite impossible for polo to he played on any ground on which other games
were played For
Icotball it would be necessary to have fixed goalposts with the result that the grass would be worn round about, which would make it slip- pery for the ponies to turn on, in addition to which they could not satisfactorily fill up the holes.] The Chairman had said that if they had a stadium there they would not have people running about the polo ground as at the present time. The Palo Club, Capt. Neville said, did not want to keep the Chinese off the ground. They did not do jany harm running about in their bare fect and it would be a hard-

He cer- tainly thought that bowlers would prefer to play on their own greens. The stadium scheme would obtain support from footballers, but he did not think it was going to interest other branches of spari, "We have cricket and bowls clubs in the Colony who have their own grounds and they would not be likely to play at the stadium. It seems to
ma it would be of no use to them," Mr. Tacchi added.
Mr. E. Cook thought, the question was too much in the crysalis stage to put it before the Government yet. He suggested the pop intment of n small committee,He was opposed to any interference with existing clube,
