CONTINENTAL SUNDAY
LONDON’S NEW CRAZE. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 13. Tho Loudon County Council’s decision permitting games on" Sunday afternoons has produced a striking social change. On most Sundays since the decision, unless it has been wet or threatening, games are going in full swing from 2 o’clock till 9. Over 500 tennis courts and scores of bowl, ing greens arc continuously occupied, and thousands of boys and youths play cricket. The scones are "entirely changed from the time when the parks wore solely populated with promonaders and open-ail' orators and preachers. Sundays are now indistinguishable from Saturdays.
The church people continue vigorous protests in the newspapers, and are planning elaborate campaigns in the provincial towns and cities, none of which have yet followed London’s example.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
