The Law Not Enforced-Oh, for the old Oaken Bucket-General News of the Town-The Special Borough Meeting.
 The papers report another cock fight in which Wallingford birds participated. There was some talk about arresting some of the parties that were attending the fight l about this vicinity for violation of the law, but as yet nothing has come from it. A l very small amount of detective work would l result in exposing the gang that are en- couraging and arranging the disgraceful l exhibitions that have become SO freuuent of late, when it is well known that a cer- tain resident of the borough has at all times on hand number of game birds that are brought to his place for training for these same fights. The officers of the law might, If they saw fit, turn an honest penny and at the same time confer @ favor on the public If they would devote some of their dormant energies in bringing to justice some of the many persons in tho borough who are engaged in the debasing and un- manly practice of attending and partiei- pating in cock fights.
