Young men known as Irish-Americans, who wear as a badge long frock-coats, crowd the corners of the streets, and insult the passer-by.

Women from the windows arrest attention by loud calls to the men on the sidewalk, and jibes, profanity, and bad words pass between the parties.

Sunday theatres, concert-saloons, and places of amusement are in full blast.

The Italians and Irish shout out their joy from the rooms they occupy.

The click of the billiard ball, and the booming of the ten-pin alley, are distinctly heard.
