I understand that the Trustees of the Race Course have decided to renew the charges of last season for the use of grounds on the Rece Course, and that the Association has made an appeal to the Clubs to assist towards the rent charged for the grounds. The Association has not Stipulated any amount to be paid by the various clubs, leaving the matter entirely to each club to decide just how much it will donate in this direction. Perhaps some of those who watch games on the Race Course might feel disposed to send along five dollars to Mr. Spiegler, the Association Secretary, to show their appreciation of the fact that the Association has done its best to keep the game going n spite of the hostilities.
