For the first time for many years the law as to Sunday closing was enforced on July Bth in the 11 White Way” portion of Broadway. This includes the theatrical centre, which has been accustomed to remain opeD, in spite of the law. Soon after midnight on the 7th, the usual scene of gaiety was just beginning, when the saloonkeepers and the public were astonished by the police officers arriving and arresting all the waiters who were then serving customers. The street was packed with disappointed people, including the leading politicians of tho ward, who have threatened to securo the removal of the Commissioner of Police, General Bingham, who is a re - tired army officer, and the first Com • missioner for many years to be free from politics. The King has had some practice as an editor for the last few weeks (writes a London correspondent), having read the proof sheets of the selection of Queen Victoria’s letters which Viscount Esher and Mr A. C. Benson have been making for some time under his supervision. Though not authorised to attempt a formal Life of the Queen, they have been employed in writing a good deal of explanatory matter of a biographical character, and it is no doubt to this that 11 is Majesty’B editorial eye has given most attention. The work vv ill be published in several volumes. The first two are to be ready for issue in September or October. The greater part of the writing has presumably been done by Mr Benson, who is a literary artist of considerable distinction. Just where Viscount Fsher comes into the colla boration is not easy to guess. His experience hrs been almost exclusively concerned with red tape and politics.
