Curfew Talk and City Edges in Sheffield Nightlife
Our man about town discusses a proposed curfew for Sheffield, worried locals, and fears police would treat older night owls as minors. He critiques the plan, jokes about pine at 8 45 P M, and riffs on local dogs and vagrancy. The column also riffs on the Masonic fourteeners, a vaudeville verdict, and Mrs Mosquito. He notes Dr Benson’s money-making plan and a millet seed display by Thomas Brothers, praising Daily advertising. A thousand babies and a baby show draw an auto-worthy scene as Cook’s showcases the event.
