The Proposed Gambling Ordinance.

was held last evening to take into consid-
Grafton the proposed action of the City
Trustees in relation to licensing stud-horse
poker and dice gambling games. There
was very spirited discussion of the SUBJ
iect, and unanimous and very earnest feel
ing prevailed against the passage of the
proposed ordinance. 1t was regarded as a
step towards the uncivilized dark ages, and
in direct opposition to the present move
ments of all the leading cities in Europe
where gambling has heretofore held I'M
limited sway, and until its effects have
proven it so great a curse that the popular
Sentiment of the people demand its sup
preston. After the matter had been fully
considered, committee was appointed to
wait upon the City Trustees at the meeting
of the Board this morning, and present the
following memorial:
"The Citizens Association of Sacramento
respectfully and earnestly protest against
the passage of the proposed ordinance Ii
censing the stud-horse poker gambling
game; and we further most earnestly re-
| quest the repeal of the ordinance of Au-
! gust, 1888, licensing faro and other games
in direct violation of the State law; and we
would further request the immediate pas
sage and enforcement of an ordinance pro-
! hibiting all kinds Of gambling within the
city limits"
The entire spirit of the meeting evinced
determination to follow up the gambling
evil now so rife in the city, and to take such
| further and speedy action as shall be effect
i've. To that end an adjournment was
taken till Friday evening next, to await the
action of the Board of Trustees.
