The European delegates to the Sanger

present week, were, for a portion of Sat-
nrday, the guests of Steinway & Sons, at
their piano factory. Afterwards they vis-
tied Central Park. They leave for Chicago

sixty members of the Arion Society.

the race for the Westchester cup, valued at
$4,000, for all ages, dash of two miles and
a quarter-will be of great interest.
Quite serious riot occurred yesterday at
liquor store in Mulberry street, reported
to be a resort of dissolute and degenerate
people. A policeman, believing that liquor
was sold in violation of the Excise law,
entered the place, in citizens attire, and
endeavored to procure some. 1t is con-
jectured that some one in the place knew
him, for lie was Immediately assaulted and
badly beaten. Other policemen came to
his assistance, and they in turn were beat
en-. Knives, stones, bottles and other
weapons were used. The reserve force In
the police station house in Spring street
was called out, and these soon quieted the
rioters. 1t was found that the officers who
had been attacked were beaten in the most
shocking way, and one of them was very
seriously injured. The bartender and
three other persons were arrested. One of
| them was an old woman, who, it Is alleged,
held down one of the policemen while the
rioters beat him. The Excise law Is still
enforced in this city. Yesterday eight
persons were taken before Justice Shan
delley at the Essex Market Court, charged
with selling liquor in violation of the law.
1t is estimated that the New Workers de-
posit with the New Jerseyites about $780,
600 each Sunday for lager and all that sort
of thing. A large portion of this sum is
spent in Hoboken. The keepers of lager
beer shops and gardens over there think
our Excise law capital thing, we sus.
pect.

had throngs of visitors yesterday, for the
weather was delightful. It is estimated
that 10000 of our citizens visited Slater
