ATLANTIC'S CAFE
MEN KEEP LID OFF
Bid Defiance to RefOTmeTs and
Lords Day Alliance.

Atlantic City. Aug. 16.-Saloon keep
ers and .proprietors of amusement
places here babe defiance to the re-
formers and members of the Lords
Day Alliance who are trying to enforce
the Sunday closing laws in this re
sort. Although a half a hundred
liquor dealers are under bonds fol-
lowing their arrest last week, practi-
oally every bar and cafe in the resort
was open as usual. Extra forces of
bartenders were employed to serve
what is claimed to be the greatest
crowd OF visitors ever gathered here.
The base ball game at Inlet park
was played despite the objections OF
the reformers. City police in uniform
were present at the game to prevent
any attempt at a raid or the breaking
up of the game, which was down as
a trump card of the alliance.
Ministers of the alliance from their
pulpits preached scorching sermons
condemning both the liquor dealers
and their political hackers for their
defiance of the laws.
The police contented themselves
with visiting the saloons and warn
ing the managers not to sell to in
toxicated persons who might furnish
material for reform criticism. Amuse-
ment men on the boardwalk were also
warned not to operate any nois!
amusements which are under the ban
of local laws.

capture of private of the invading
army were the most warlike features
Sunday in the work of the army of
the Blue in camp near Bridegwater,
defending Boston from an attack from
the south by the Red army in the
mimic war game. The original plans
for a strenuous Sunday, which had
been laid by Governor Eben S. ORA

Pew, were of no avail, because of the
postponement of hostilities.
The first real move of the army Of
the Blue was taken early in the day
when two battalions of the Eighth in
fantry under Major Graves was sent
to destroy the important bridges
along the Assonet, Taunton and Min
netuxet rivers. The detachment re-
turned in the afternoon, tired and
dusty but reporting their work well
done. The Red army, when it adj
