DANCING AND DRINKING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING POST.
Sib— Why should " Pro Bono Publico," in your issue of last night, ask such a question relative to dancing platforms and drinking 1 booths, in connection with publiohouses ? He should have searched the Act, and not troubled your readers with such senseless twaddle ; but still the weakness of the prompting mind is ably exposed, and one cannot wonder at such, emanating as it does from one whose primitive experiences should hare taught him the ways of the world. Our friend stated that he observed drinking booth ■ surrounding the platform. Certainly they are drinking booths, but not in the sense implied. They were erected for the purpose of accommodating those who might wiah to en joy a, cup of tea or coffee, or other equally innocent beverage in the snburbs, and had our writer acquainted himself with facts, he would not have made such assertions. I am, Ac, Muggins.
