When the tickets on which the scores appeared

tant Hughes had TWO tickets each. One OF the two

had no such Official mark. Adjutant Murphy ex-
planned this irregularity by stating that the Adu-
tant OF the Seventy ninth was in rusted with the
scoring tickets to issue to the men. There is no
doubt but this explanation must be satisfactory,
and, without for y moment imagining that the
Seventynnth made their splendid score by any
other than the most honorable means still 1t ought

Another Legal Opinion.

prominent member OF the legal profession,
who requested his name should not appear. but
who Is considered to be Of the best authorities
on municipal law, stated yesterday that there
could be no question whatever as to the fact that
from the moment OF the conviction OF Commits
sioners Gardner and Charlick was had they ceased
to hold ONCE The question as to whether the
Mayor had the right to reappoint these persons
as Police Commissioners was another matter.
That IL was his intention to reappoint
them he had every reason to believe He
was of The opinion that In whatever
80 reappoint Messrs. Gardner and Chariick he
would lay himself open TO charge Of violating his
oath OF ONCE and the further question would come
mp as to whether the appointees could exercise
their functions as Commissioners. However,
should they he so appointed by the Mayor, and as
would probably be the case, writ OF quo warranto
be served on them. They could perform the duties
belonging to the ONCE Of members OF the Board Of
Police as Commissioners dc Jdct0, until the ques-
ton Is decided whether they are Commissioners
dc jtsre. This would allow the business OF the
Board to proceed, unlessthey were served with an
injunction restraining them from acting. In this
case there could be no meeting OF the Board rs
there would be no quorum.

twelve minutes later, both boats travelling fast.
The river was smooth with no wind, tide at the

CHRISTMAS EE.-The Armory
Hall was full to overlooking on
Thursday evening, on the occasion
of the Christmas celebration of the
school children of this city. The
exercises were exceedingly interest
ing, the scholars showing pro-
ficiency in singing and recitations.
In this connection it would not do
for us to particularize all did
we'll. The effect of the entertain
ment was greatly marred by the
seats giving way in the rear of the
hall. In the crash some one got
his shin skinned, but several
needed their heads peeled for inter
rupting the exercises. Even a
Christmas festival should be order
". Still, all passed off pleasantly.
After the little ones had acquitted
themselves so creditably, the dis
tribution of gifts took place, some
of which We're rare and costly,
others comical, evoking consider
able mirth. We believe every
child in the town received one or
more presents. The ladies who
constituted the Committee of Ar
rangements performed their part
creditably and without favor. The
seats being removed and stage dis
appearing, the violin and guitar
took the place of the church organ,
and all who desired joined in and
tripped, and tripped, and tripped,
till Christmas did appear.
