tho park . About noon a gang of roughs busied themselves with destroying flowers and shrubs aud railings , and for the time there was no one—policeman or park-keeper—to interfere . Presently , however , the police arrived and went to work in the most undisci-iminating manner , driving out of the park not only the roughs but a large number of respectable people , upon whom
they laid about with their truncheons in the most unmerciful manner . As they charged tho roughs those individuals scattered , hut , gathering again , pelted "the force" with sticks and stones .
