Reformingr the Polico Conrts.
One of the most important reforms
which New York will experience as the
result of the elect-ion of Mayor Strong
and the overthrow of Tammany will re-
late to its local Magistrates’ Courts.
An act of the late legislature abolished
the entire system of police courts and
substituted in place of, the fifteen police
Justices, five Judges of Special Sessions
and nine City Magistrates, all of whom
must be lawyers of good standing at
the bar. The Divvers and their associ-
ates will go Out of office June 30 and
there will be few to mourn their retire?
ment.
Mayor Strong has already appointed
the new officials in order to give them
time to prepare for the opening of the
new courts in July, and it is generally
agreed that the new Judges and Magis-
trates are a vast improvement upon
these they supersede. There is much
personal disappointment, which was
inevitable from the selection of four~
teen men from a list of nearly three
hundred candidates. The two hun-
dred and eighty who failed of ap-
pointment and their friends all think
that. better selections could have been
made, but the verdict of those not
interested in any candidates is that the
selection is a good one and that here-
after justice will be fairly administered
in the minor courts of New York.
The important feature of the new dc-
parture is that fitness and not political
pull is made a requisite for appoint-
ment to a City Magistracy. While it
would be possible for a Mayor more
partisan and less patriotic than Mayor
Strong to select unfit lawyers for these
places, it could not be said of any ap-
pointee that he was unfit. for the place
because of luck of knl‘. wledge of the
law. If the people: of New York want
to be sure of the continuance of good
Magistrates in office they can do so by
electing only men as competent and
public Spirited as Mr. Strong for Mayor.’
. While the scandals which have made
the police courts of New York a stench
in the nostrils of all honest people have
not been duplicated in our own old
time justice of the peace courts, yet
there was so much of selfish greed for
fees, and other scandals, in the old sys-
tem, that our new Town Court system
rests with the hearticst approval of all
save thUSe who come before it in the
character of breakers of the law. Nor;~
walk can now shake hands with New
York in police court reform.

Nothing can equal the famous My.-
tery dance as produced at this enter-
tainment. It is a unique and amusing
representation and replete with both
mystifying and amusing features. The
beautiful court card dance as specially
arranged by Mr. Nowell, with its pretty
panoramic movements is something of
rare beauty. The Uncle Sam dance is
a typical, national and patriotic feature.
Not a dull movement in it. C. B. Jew-
ett represent-s Uncle Sam had Miss
Maud Kapral, Columbia. Beautiful in
movement and accessories. is the Maid
of the Mist Dance cleverly interpreted
by ten young ladies. Miss Maud Kap-
ral will present something very novel
and pertty, called Grandma’s Minuet,
a charming recitation with illustrative
dance. The dancing divertisement by
Miss Efiiel Laue, presenting Little
Buttercup, Fairy and other dances is
exceedingly attractive. Miss Sarah
Stowe makes a Specialty of a shipping
rope (dance, highland fling, hornpipe
and other specialties. Miss Bessie
Nowell will appear in her beautiful and
rythmic Dream Dance. Very cunning
indeed will be the Good Night baby
dance offered by eight little Misses.
As a decidedly artistic novelty this en—
.‘ertainment will be unsurpassed and
none can afi'n'd to miss it,

An Exciting Catch.
Little Master Franklin Bishop, was
presented last week by his fond papa,
witha new fishing rod and line. Of
course, there was no rest or peace for
the Bishop home until Master Franklin
was taken to the salt water to test the
merits of his new fishing equipment,
His hook was baited and thrown into
tion: A new structure was reared
around this ancient masonry and the
clnis grew to gracfuliv‘drape James and
Susan Benedict’s neat and clean white-
washed front door, while history has so

moments of patient and intensely

with the capturccud had'it next morn-

has greeted his little playfellows with
an unusual reserve and dignity, feeling
conscious of his superiority over them
since capturing the big 001. It is an
open question however, whether he
really caught the eel, or the eel caught
him. Had not help been at. hand the
verdict we fear, would have to be the
latter.

Hillside wasa bower of beauty last
evening. The grounds Were strewn

be soon forgotten. The members ,of

was planted with due ceremony and the
ivy oration given by Miss Susie Brien,
after which light refreshments were 5
served. A feature which added ncta
litttle to the general happiness, was the

THE OXFORD-CAMBRIDGE "DEN.”
Text of the Letter NOW on the lVay to
Yale and Harvard.
LONDON, June 18.-The challenge ‘sent
by the athletic clubs of Oxford and Cam-
bridge universities to the athletic captains
of Yale and Harvard universities is at fol-
lows:
DEAR SIR—A joint committee of the Oxford
University Athletic club and 'the Cambridge
University Athletic club at a conferenc'd held
at Oxford resolved to send a challenge to' the
universities of Yale and. Harvard inviting their;
to partake in an athletic competition to take
place in America at some date in the autumn, ,
as may mutually be agreed upon.
The committee considered the possibility of
sending a joint firm in the middle of July,
but on going into the question found it would
not be practicable because some of the best
i athletes would be unable to leave England at
that time, being detained by the public exami-
nations, while others who had already en’ aged
themselves to take part in the forthc ming
competition of the London Athletic club versus
the New York Athletic club were not prepared .
to go to America in July and also 'g Septem-
ber. You will see, therefore, that our only
course was to suggest to you an autumn meet-
ing which may corne before or come after the
fixture already agreed upon between the Lon-
don Athletic club and the New York Ath-
letic club as may hereafter be deemed best,
and we send a challenge subject to all the pre-
liminaries being satisfactorily arranged.
We would suggest that the programme con-
tain the following everits:
Flat Races—100 yards dash, one-fourth mile
run, one-half mile run, mile run and three
mile run.
Hurdle Races—120 yards, one according to
Enlglish rules and one according to American
to es.
High jump, long jump, hammer throw and
weight putting.
We shall be glad to be favored with your rc-
ply at your earliest convenience, as all ar-
rangements have to be concluded before the
end of this term. Yours very truly.

President of the Oxford University Athletic
Club.
