clek, Mack elar) Of which we gave an abstract yes
terday furnishes fair illustration of the careless
manner in which business is done In the Department

osiepsiby been Chief Of POli;e during the long alb
sence of Mr.. Matse on a Western tour is particularly
nice abou, the classification of Arrests. For instance
"Intoxication, $685. "IntOxication and dis orderly
"colduct, 40; " DisOrderly conduct 2,GsS; -

reader to 90 over the confused of figures, make
his own Iecapituations make comparisons with pre-
vious repoIts and then 4" guess whether the returns
of the Patrol Police AID those of the Reserved Corps
should be added to show the number OF arrests during
the fix months ending June ~. Our reporter, in tue
absence of any explanation in the report, came to the
conclusion that they should be added and made his
abstract accordingly. The Chief report some wear.

time it was looked upon as such, and even quoted
authority at Of our Anniversaries; but since then
