§ Mr. HOPKINSasked the First Commissioner of Works why no steps have been 1624W taken to repair the playing fields and cricket pitches in Regent's Park so that they may be again used for games; and will he take such immediate steps as may be possible to repair them for the present season?
§ Sir A. MONDThe condition of the ground, owing to the wet spring, has hitherto made it impossible to commence any work of restoration. Steps are now being taken to repair these grounds, but owing to the way in which they were cut up by the troops which drilled in the park, no games can probably take place there for several months.
