A FLANK MOVEMENT ON THE POLICE
Since the police authorities interdicted boys
bathing in the canal within the corporate
limits the rising generaton resident in the
southern portion Of the city have felt much
aggrieved, and they have more than once
taken counsel together as to the situation.
They have now decided how to act. They
will not be deprived of the privilege of
bathing in the canal, but they will make
their amusement unobjectionabe to the pub
lie by donning bathing suits. Yesterday
evening two OF these epterprising youths, in
extenporized bathing costumes, made their
appearance in the canal between Seventh
and Eighth streets. They dsported them
selves in the water for a good while. much to
their own satisfaction and delight and to the
advertisement of ut least hundred specta-
tors Thus this grave question appears to
have met with solution acceptable to all
concerned.
