We have passed second Sunday under
under operation Of the Downing pro.
hibitlon Law, and some few bun.
dreds Oh additional violations were
reported. The day passed very quietly
md the observance Of the provisions of t6e
law was more general than on the preyi.
Gus Sunday. The streets of the city were
nearly deserted. The street.car lines

salaries OF their operatives, when Ii is
usually day OF great profit. This was
owing to the closing OF all places Of amuse
ments, TO the suppression OF outdoor sports
and games and to the general closing of
tue saloons, toSacco-stores, barber-shops

running OF the street cars in this city on
Sunday by any law which has been or
which may be enacted, is a farce. and will
result in failure, as 1t ought to- The re-
