Harlem. Hardly had the WiRwam recovered
from the metrcal impact OF Mr.. elders
melodious assault than SCORE OF poets spranR
to the fore in and around Morrisania. and

Not only would they beleaguer the enemy, and
lump I'm on de nose with their rhymes, but

door knob at the entrance to the publication
OF which Mr.. Glider Is the distinguished chief.

poets. None OF them may ever rise to the height
from which he can drop verses into the East
Seventeenth street depository. but It 10 certain
that many of the new school display vigor In
| EXPRESSION and originality in rhyme
These posts have wisely chosen limited
neld for their exercise. and the north Of
Harlem fight for Commissioner OF Street I'm.
provements gave them Just their chance. As
everybody knows. there are two Louises in the
field, both identified with the beer interest
and every student knows how much good
German beer has done for poetry.
