Go-as-You-Please on Rollers.Betting on Two Thousand and Derby.Lacrosse, Aquatic and Sporting Notes.ST, GEORGE 68.8.CONCERTA large and fashionable audience greeted the gallant Knights of St.George last evening at the Queen's Hall, almost every seat being filled.The stage was artistically arranged, and reflected much credit on the Committee on Decorations.Sofas, tete-a-tetes and easy chairs, wicker tables and chairs, rugs, oil paintings on easels, lighted candelabras, fairy lights, and a profusion of owers and hot-house plants, gave the stage the appearance of a large handsome drawing room, and produced a very pleasing effect.Shortly after eight o\u2019clock some thirty-five of the Red Cross Knights filed quietly on the stage, among them the present popula president, R.J.Ross, and the old stand-byes of the club, Messrs.C.D.Monk and Fred Henshaw, two past presidents.The programme commenced with a few bars of God Save the Queen, and was immediately followed by the club song and chorus, the solo by Mr.C.D.Monk, entitled \u201c\u2019Tis Jolly on the Snow,\u201d a mandolin selection by a member, and Mr.J.C.Bowden\u2019s comic song, were well received.A recitation by Mr.J.R.Smith, entitled \u201c A Modern Sermon,\u201d was capitally rendered, being a dissertation on \u201cOld Mother Hubbard,\u201d which would bave done credit to à genuine parson.The song and chorus by the club, \u201c Way ober yonder,\u201d solo by Mr.W.S.Bryden, was well rendered.Mr.Meredith Heward received a very hearty encore for his clever execution on the xylophone, to which be responded.Mr.Verner sanz Roche's song, \u201cSerenade.\u201d A capital recitation came next, this time by Mr.Tough, who received well- merited applause\u2014the first part ending with an Irish jig in character by Messrs.McCock and Stewart.Mr.Stewart's make-up as an Irish lass was excellent, and the dancers received an enthusiastic encore, which was responded to.The second part commenced with a song and chorus, led by Mr.J.G.Monk, one of the Club\u2019s popular members.Mr.D.S.McIntyre gave a recitation in Datch character, which fairly brought down the house.It was entitled \u201cThe Raven,\u201d being an amusing parody on Edgar A.Poe.\u201cDunc\u201d responded to the encore with a Dutch version of \u201c Yum-Yum.\u201d Mr.C.C.McFall sang very nicely Willard\u2019s \u201c Waiting,\u201d for which he obtained a hearty encore, responding with, \u201cQueen of my Heart.\u201d A French chorus and an encore were capitally rendered by a dozen of the members, Mr.M.Heward following with a clever and well executed performance on double banjos, being fully equal to Professor Parker of banjo fame, Mr.Brankin sang in character, \u201cMr.Mul- caby, Fsq.,\u201d into which he introduced some local squibs on the late change in theQuebecCabinet.Mr.C.J.Stuart danced in character the \u201cSailor's Hornpipe,\u201d and received a hearty and well merited recall for his graceful dancing.He responded with the sword dance, which was somewhat marred by a monotonous accompaniment on the piano.* Golden Shoes,\u201d song and chorus, by Mr.Harry Doucet and Club wound up a very pleasant evening's performance, which was once more a credit to the snowshoe saints of St.George.We must congratulate th: «club on their efforts, which, from the ap pearance of the well filled hall, will real- 1æ handsomely for their new Club House.THE TURF.ENGLISIL BETTING.Latest English betting on the Tw.Thousand Guineas, 1 MILE, 17 YDS.\u2014RUN MAY 2.S5to4 against-.Friars Balsam 5tol M Ce ane ses ns s0 es so ns0 00000

M.W., James Wright; Foreman, Jas.Field; Overseer, Jas.Brown; Receiver, Wim.Renshaw; Recorder, A.S.Ross; Financier, J.Adams; Guide, J.F.De- vergne; Inside Watchman, R.E.Taite; Outside Watchman, W.Patterson; Examining Physician, Robert Wilson, M.D.je - LONGUEUIL NOTES.A correspondent writing from Longueuil says: A telegram sent from Montreal on Saturday last hagnot yet arrived at this place.The G.N.W.Telegraph Company had better make some other and better arrangements for the delivery of messages.This is, he says, the third message that has been sent but not delivered by this office since the New Year, and that to the same individual, and the non-delivery has caused considerable trouble and damage.The management of the Post-Office here is about on a par with the telegraph office.A number of the residents prefer to get their post matter in Montreal, as well as to post their mail matter there, rather than have anything to do with the sixteenth century way of doing things which prevails here.The building in which the office is located is a disgrace to the department, and also to a place of the population of Longueuil.Work is to be resumed at once upon the new wharves which are being built by the Dominion Government, and it is being asked for what purpose they are to be used when built?A considerable addition is to be made to ihe Prostestant Dissentient school, owing to the large increase of the number of attendants.It would be a great blessing if the authorities, who have the matter in hand, would make some effort to suppress the number of drinking places that infect this place, as well as endeavor to stop the large amount of Sunday drinking that is carried on, especially in the summer time.BEATEN WITH A BOTTLE.A young man appeared at the Central Police Station yesterday afternoon very much the worse for wear.His head was enveloped in almost innumerable yards of linen bandages, placed there by the General Hospital physicians.He was partially intoxicated, and presented a dilapidated appearance generally.With a woe-begone expression of countenance, he related his trials to a sympathising audience.He had met a crowd of drunken men on St.Constant street, and they had insulted him.He had \u201c remonstrated \u201d with them as to their ungentlemanly conduct and as a result had been unmercifully beaten about the head with a bottle.Numberless gashes had been inflisted and he did \u201c not know how many stitches\u201d the doctors at the hospital had to putin to sew him up.As he had not the remotest idea who his assailant was, and seemed rather hazy as to the exact locality at which the fracas had occurred, the police will have some difficulty in bringing to justice the rough who has a penchant for a bottle as a weapon.\u2014 REFUSED LICENSES.The following were refused licenses yesterday on the ground that their premises were not fitted up as required by law :\u2014 Catherine Langevin, 40 St.Paul ;

things expected of the new Chief of Police, the reforms to be inatgurated, the discipline to be demanded, and the laws to be enforced, the following are respectfully submitted for consideration.In the volume, entitled Municipal Laws of Montreal, page 495, under the heading of \u201c Regulations for the Government of the Police Force of the City of Montreal, with instructions as to the legal powers and duties of police constables,\u201d the following appears i\u2014 32.He (the constable) has power to apprehend and take to the police station, as vagrants or disorderly persons, all persons who, being able to work, refuse and neglect to do so; persons exposing themselves indecently; persons maliciously or wilfully obstructing passengers, by stopping across loot- paths, obstructing a thoroughfare; using insulting language ; causing disturbance, by screaming, shouting, swearing, singing in the streets; tearing down or defacing signs, posters, and notices, where permitted to be posted up; breaking windows, doors, door-plates, knockers, bell-pulls, or the walls of houses, yards or gardens; destroying fences, railings, trees or the plants and shrubs in the public squares, streets, or gardens in front of private dwellings ; being drunk, and impeding or mcommoding peaceable passenger3; all common prostitutes; all persons in the habit of frequenting houses of ill-fame.\u201c33.A constable, if authorized by the warrant of a Magistrate, may enter any house of ill-fame, tavern or boardinghouse, and there apprehend and bring before the Recorder all or any of the persons described in the foregoing article, as being disorderly persons; also, all persons found tippling after the hour of 10 at night, and before 5 a.m., from 21st March to the 1st of October; and from 6 a.m.to 9 p.n.between 1st October to 21st March.But on Saturday night, during the whole of the year, he is authorized by the corpar- ation by-law to enter after the hour of eleven o'clock, p.m., until the following Monday morning at six o'clock, all shops, taverns, public houses, o.places of public entertainment within the said city, and there arrest on view the landlords and all persons playing at cards, dice, or other chance games, and tippling, in any of such taverns, hotels, saloons, bar-rooms, or any other place of entertainment, or shops, between the hours mentioned in said by-law.\u201d Most people would be inclined to doubt that any such instructions as appear in section 33 are to be found in the volume of municipal laws, but a perusal of that work will show that there they stand in black and white.A HERALD reporter who accidentally came across these alleged instructions at the central police office, one day last we3k, called at the City Hall yesterday to make enquiries.A prominent civic official and authority on all matters pertaining to civic laws, was interviewed with the following result :\u2014 Reporter\u2014Producing copy of \u201c Municipal Laws\u201d and pointing out section 33, the one given above\u2014\u201c Did you ever particularly notice that section, and the pa- culiar powers it gives the police?\u201d Civic Official\u2014After reading\u2014\u201c Well, that is somewhat strange, that\u2019s a fact.\u201d Reporter\u2014Do you know of any law passed since that edict was sent forth, repealing it, or modifying the authority given ?Civic Official\u2014No, there has been nothing done to have it repealed that I know of.I imagine nobody ever looked at it carefully enough to fully realize what it really meant.Reporter\u2014Then according to powers there given a constable may arrest any man found drinking in any \u201c public,\u201d or even any boardi house after ten o\u2019clock at night and before five in the morning, during the summer months, that is from the 21st of March until the 1st of October ?Civic Official\u2014Yes, that is what it says.: Reporter\u2014And during the winter months, that is from 1st October to the 21st March, any man caught taking a drink during the day time, from six in the morning till nine in the night, may be arrested on sight ?Civic Official\u2014Thats what the regulation says.Reporter\u2014So that during the summer a person may drink all day with impunity, but is liable to get himself into trouble if he is caught taking a drink after ten at night ?Civic Official\u2014Yes.R2porter\u2014And during the winter he may drink all night, but is open to arrest if caught tippling throagh the day between six in the morning and nine at night?Civie Official\u2014Yes.Reporter\u2014Then the hours between 10 p.m.and 5 a.m.in summer, and betweeu 6am.and 9 p.m.in winter being the only prohibited ones, from 5 to 6 in the morning and 9 to 10 at night are lawful hours during which to take a drink the whole year round ?Civic Official \u2014Yes.Reporter\u2014Do you know why these particular hours were singled out?Are they considered as specially beneficial periods for spirit-ual fortification, irrespective of season ?Civic Official\u2014I am sure I can\u2019t say.I do think, however, that these hours mentioned as unlawful have, through a typographical error, heen wrongly given.I think, on consulting the French edition, you will see that I am right in my cou- jecture.Tne French edition was accordingly produced and the civic official examined it.As he read the expression of pleasant assurance on his mobile features gradually gave way to one of mingled pain and astonishment.He remarked, after he had recovered his wind, \u201c Iam exceedingly sorry to say thatthe French edition says exactly the same thing.\u201d \u201cI thought 80,\u201d sententiously observed the reporter.After intermission for recovering, the conversation was resumed on the concluding \u201csentence of this remarkable section 33, which gives a constable power to enter at all times of the year any public house or place of entertainment between 11 o'clock Saturday night and 6 o'clock Monday morning and arrest, on view, the landlords and all persons found drinking or playing atany game of chance, .The reporter and the civic official read this sentence of the regulation over together ; then, the entire section, and in silence more eloquent than speech, separated.\u2014 een Ald.Dupuis says that he is determined to retire from the Council, TO AND

had a formal introduction to Deputy-Chief Naegele, Sub- Chief Lancy and the subordinate officers on duty.He had a few pleasant words to say to each, and then, accompanied by the aldermen, went before
