 and Weddings.

The decision that the application of the Sunday law 10 golf playing is un- constitutional was received with great satisfaction yesterday This same ques- tion has come up in other cities and Sunday golf playing has been the sub- iect for much discussion.

 The decision that the Sunday law does not apply to golf affects society in the sense that the club memberships, tn e wealthy and fashionable club. is made up largely of men who are most active in the worlds affairs, commerce, ID the professions. The decision is not any victory" for the so-called leisure classes" It is simply a sane decision of general benefit to a large class of citizens.
