 The subject now uppermost in the minds of the sporting fraternity of Water burY is. will the new constable which the l residents of South Brooklyn have peti- tioned for. when appointed. interfere with the delightful athletic performances which take place at Riverside park every Sunday afternoon. It is the hope of all good citi- zens that these harmless pastimes will not be considered as n dissertation of the Sab batb. These sports are looked forward to l from week to week by a class of young men who feel that it is n much more pro itable pastime than that which so many of our young people seek pleasure in on Sun days-the card-table. drinking booth and various other places where habits of vice are sure to be acquired. Such amuse- ments should be encouraged. and as those who indulge m them are young men who work during the six days of the week they i need A little exercise of thIs kind and this is the only day they have. Yesterday programme was a complete triumph and delighted a large and aPpreciative audi. ence of ladies and gentlemen.
