The Sunday tatler and Jersey City express. (Jersey City, N.J.) 1883-1886, 1886-08-08

This little sscur," as he designates pub
lie opinion, will probably be found big
enough to start him on the double quick
before long. 1t would be a waste of force
to put full-sized dog in pursuit of him.
The bull-dozing blower of the prairies is
no match in valor tor the amsllest of ours.
Tee s'most respectable and intelligent audi
ence" showed their responsibility and in
telligence by installing his coarse black
guardism for wit and applauding to the
echo.
While this self.styled scout was thus win
ming the applause of the low browed crowd
gathered within the enclosure. the residents
with homes around it were watching with
terror the gangs of hoodlums, that with
cat-calls and shouts, and ribsld song and
speech, were making their way to the
grounds. Impelled by curiosity, one of the
TATrLER reporters joined in the throng.
and followed it to the grounds to
make notes of what he saw All over
the broad field were rows Of dirty
looking tents. Cowboys, lazily swing
ing cowhide whips, were perched on
wide boards stretched in front. At
Bramhall avenue were half dozen wooden
soups, with tough couples in each, in full
swing. In a shed at the Atlantic avenue
end of the grounds were the stuffed dolls
and the balls to sling at them-fve cents a
shot, with the rankest kind of stink-weed
segar to, reward each successful aim. In
another was Il rifle gallery, where dismal
toned goEg heralded each bull's-eye made
by the "Sharp-shooters. The ceaseless ring
of this harsh-voiced gong is itself no small
NUISANCE, for it can be heard all over the
neighborhood. All of these were enclosed
within rude board fence. A booth with
an unplanad board floor that serves as q
stage, stands in the middle Of the ground,
and in front are rows of boards on upright
posts to serve for seats for spectators. On
the other side of the road was something
like sweat board, where fellow could
part with his money on bets on mimic
horses on mimic track, the movements
of the horses being entirely at the will of
the man who runs the machine. Flaming
torches illuminated the whole and gave the
grounds the appearance of the bivouao Of
the fasirs at kockaway Beach before civ
ilization and President DATE drove them
out.
In the crowd of on-lookers outside the
enclosure-fer any one may look on with
out cost if he chooses to stand up-num-
bers of pale-faced little girls whose anxious
parents at home were doubtless wondering
what kept them out, and boys of tender age
smoking cigarettes were congregated. A
very brassy brass band broke the quiet of
the neighborhood, while the shouts of the
scouts. the war-whoops Of the Indians. the
constant crack of this rife and the creakinQ
of the heavy swings combined to make q
deafening confusion.
The whole OF the mongrel show seemed
to be under the protection of the police
Two officers whe were ON duty at the
grounds acted rather as though they had
been detailed to see the show than to keep
order They allowed the streets to be
made impossible by multitude of hood
lums ana lewd women and little children

them to shout at the vulgar jokes of the
cowboy clowns to the disturbance of the
neighborhood while they looked compla-
Gently on.
There is but one sentiment all around
the section as to the nuisance, and that is
that it must be abated. Nevada Ned's
boast that he has got more money than the
TATTLER and that therefore, we cannot
| fight him out, is an intimation that he has
purchased immunity. TATTLER reporters
have made inquiry as to the manner in
whlcn he can be dealt with, ana suggest
some of the remedies. In the first place
