To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuia Dany News,"
Sir,—I have yvead_ with much interest, your.article on the Recreation Ground, in your issue of Saturday, the 2ist instant; am surprised no one has, as yet, taken the matter up, and think something should be done, and at once towards erecting on the Grounds, a fitting memorial to perpetuate the names of those men responsible for presenting to Shanghai for all time, and_practically free, such a splendid play ground ass now encircled by the Shanghai Race Course.
Your suggestion that a subscription of one dollar each, from the many hundreds using the Grounds, is a most excellent one, and to start the ball rolling, T enclose $1, as my contribution.
What about it, ye athletes of Shanghai, players of baseball, cricket, football, golf, hockey, Jawn bowls, polo and tennis not forgetting the swimmers nor the great number of lookers on, at the Various games.
I am, ete., W. L. Merrinan.
