And tickets for seats in the galleries of the theatres are usually sold them, the rule being in all cases that whites only are admitted to the floor. But hotels and restaurants patronized by whites will not serve colored persons, except the railway restaurants. When a colored clergyman of Baltimore was refused food at the Relay House station, and complained to the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, several years ago, he was assured that the attendants had acted without orders, and should be reprimanded. Some little complaint has been made by respectable colored men against the discrimination between white and colored citizens in the city park, in that lessees of the restaurant will serve the latter only at a stand without these restaurants, hi such matters as these, however, the complaint of the colored people usually runs against a high wall, of strong and widely spread public sentiment against any change." 45.
