is getting towards completion. The mud wall having proved a failure at one end of the ground owing to sinking of the soil, a fine wooden fence has been put up which after a coat of paint or tar will look splendid. The surface is now being levelled and turfed. The magistrate has given permission for turf to be taken from the city moat. We hope to see the grounds opened in a few weeks for tennis and other games. The keeping of the place in order and providing all material for games will be a tax on the money in hand; but our worthy chairman will no doubt be equal to the occasion.
