MR EprToR:-


On reading, your very proper remarks in the He
raid Of yesterday relating to Booths around thePark


could not help thinking how absurd it is that such
IN amount Of moral indignation has been wasted
N this subject of late, when far greater and more
I.ngerous nuisance ON that day is passed over i'm


iIence ] allude TO the firing of crackers, pistols,


md cannons by boys through the streets of the CITY
IN that day. IL Is not more thlna week since one
of our most respectable citizens lost his life by his
lorses taking fright from one of those dangerous
,aythings; and never does ith Of July pass with
,ut record of accidents to boys from using fire
rms. Besides, the continued noise, smoke and
ulphurous smell on one of the warrnest days of the
year, IS IN itself most intoerable nuisance There
is city ordinance against this practice. Why is il
,ot enforced as well as that against Booths The
New Police should do something towards abatng
this nuisance | am no advocate for Booths. buf
hink them very little or no disadvantage TO any
me, while to many they source of qualification
md amusement. But the nuisance ! have spoken
Of is offensive TO the community in general (except
ing perhaps, the boys) and is also (as has been fre


nently proveD very dangerous. A CITIZEN.
