SUNDAY GAMES.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—I was so much impressed by what you said in your issue of August 26th about the success attending the opening to games of the London parks on Sunday that I sent a quotation from your notes in a short letter to the editor of one of our leading daily papers. As my letter never appeared, a week later I wrote another letter advocating the opening of our city golf courses and bowling-greens on Sundays; but another week has passed. The editor is probably worldly wise in considering that many of his readers would be shocked by such a daring proposal, for we are here far behind you in the south in our views of the keeping of "the Sabbath." Will you believe it that the children's swings in Glasgow public parks are pad- locked on Sundays? To-day I saw two children sitting wistfully on two of them. Please come to our aid.—I am, Sir, &c.,
