Comment on the Ordinance.

The resolution passed by the city
council authorizing a more rigid en-
forcement of the ordinances of the
city, has been commented on gener-
ally. Some of the aldermen and
among them several who voted for
it, say it will be almost impossible
to prevent gambling and selling
liquor on Sunday, but the violators
Of the ordinances prohibiting gamb.
ling and the sale Of liquor on Sun.
day will be kept in subsection more
than heretofore.
Alderman King said today elf
We have ordinances they should be
enforced, whether they are good
oues or not, and if they are proven
obnoxious, then let them be re-
pealed."

The difference in the result attained by the
rifle gun and that OF the old SIT Doth bore was
a gentle remind to tho Board Of Visitors that
the service would be very much improved by
the Introduction OF a few pieces Of modern
ordnance.
Though all OF the drills commanded the at
tention OF the Board Of Visitors and held tho
quota snellDouDd. the cavalry exercises were
hy far the most exciting OF the series. One
never witnesses such riding now anywhere in
this country. Perhaps on the plains a few In
dians and cowboys from sheer necessity are
forced to perform some OF the many daring
feats witnessed here. but never are they at
tempted by the average rider OF the present
day. In fcw lessons. or even without any.
some become quite proficient. while others
might work for years and never learn to ride.
Just as some people can never master the ard
OF swimming. skat or dancing. However
true may be this theory all vestige OF life was
crushed out OF it by the skill Of the Vest
Pointers. for every cadet in tho first class,
without single exception. sat his horse aS
though he wero a part OF tho animal. Perhap6
the suppleness OF the body which naturally
follows NIL gymnastic exercises may have
much to do with the success that is always
met with here by the riding master.
