One of the oldest institutions in the city
of Melbourne, Australia, known as the
"s o'clock rush." is in danger of extinct
ion. For half century philanthropic
restaurant proprietor has given a free
meal at 8 o'clock every evening to newly
arrived immigrants or respectable persons
who were temporarily "down on their
luck" No professional loafers or chronic
ally unemployed were encouraged. The
attendance averaged about 100, and every
Melbourne journalist considered it his
duty to write a description of the scene
at least once in his career. The proprietor
of the restaurant is now retiring from
business. Heis said to have received lega-
cies from people whom he thus befriended
and who afterward prospered.
