Dear Sir
At a meeting of our Committee last night it
was reported that at the match played by our
Reserve on your ground last Saturday. Language
of a very disgusting character was shouted at
our men & at our Umpire by some of the Spectators.
Many enquiries were also made as to one of our
players coming next Saturday & coarse threats
of personal violence to this player were loudly
& repeatedly uttered. Under such circumstances
