LAW AND ORDER
Sir,—l am not a regular patron of football matches, but the beautiful weather last Saturdav tempted me to visit the Athletic Park. Securing a comfortable seat, and becoming interested in the game, I considered it was a glorious outing. There was only one thing to mar the pleasure, and that was being seated amongst a section of men who took a delight, right through the play, in burling insulting remarks at a constable stationed on dutv nearbv. I think, Sir, our police force should be respected. Were these persons (men of all ages) in trouble on this occasion, would it not be to the constable they would appeal to for assistance? Yet, because he was doing his duty, these men, biding in a crowd, maintained a fire of comment not creditable to themselves, and very unpleasant for others obliged to hear them. At gatherings of this sort, where law and order is maintained, the class of men under notice should be made an example of, and be taught to do to others as they would like others to do to them. Thanking you, Sir, for space for these few remarks. —I am, etc., IRISH BLOOD. October 4.
