CaIedonian Games.

1t has been noticed that there are not
nearly so many Caledonian games booked
for the summer as in former years, when
all through the northern part OF the
United States and southern part OF
Canada so many towns would
hold games. The opinion seems TO
be among Scotchmen that one reason for
the decline is that on account Of money
prizes being given many athletes were de-
veloped who made specialties at one or
two events and this set would go through
the circuit winning all the prizes and
actually killing competition, which people
who attended the games expected 70 see
Athletes who take part in these games say
that although there are not so many small
games given there are more good ones
now than ever, for the large cities in
America continue to hold their customary
contests and are giving better prizes than
formerly.

srnaI batczes-ouf when the police went
of duty each side began deliberate prepa-
rations TO dassroy the other
Bayard street rvns chosen as q battle
ground, and two barricadss of wagons were
thrown up sSout two hundred feet apart,
behind which the two gangs stationed
themselves with rifles and began firing.
Nothing more than the rivalry between
the gangs and q natural love Of fighting
appears to have been the cause OF the out
break, but 1t VISA q serious one and lasted
three days One day thirteen men were
killed by ths bullets and not one Of them
was member OF either gang.
On the third day the Bowery boys secured
from some quarter howitzer, which they
loaded with grapeand put on ateed wagon,
which was started for their barricade
They were going to blow the other gang
out Of existence.
1t happened that the Seventh regiment
was on its way to Fourth of July cele-
bration when Chief Tallmadge called on
the colonel for aid, and he marched his
men behind the police force of twenty-five,
as they started to capture the howitzer. 1t

by the strength of the police.
The Orange riot is too well remembered
to need description now. 1t occurred in
July. The Tompkins square riots did not,
but they were not real riots. nasmuch as
the citizens did not fight, nor offer to. They
assembled in public meeting. and the police
attacked them. There was no fighting
beyond the throwing Of g few bricks by the
men who were running to escape from the
terrible night sticks of the police.
All this does not show that hot weather
produces riots, certainly. Every one of
these disturbances, and many others that
might be mentioned, had their origin in
something entirelys different from the
weather and entirely Independent Of it.
The connection is nevertheless direct one.
1t is very seldom that man commits sui
eide or assaults or kills another because it
is hot. Yet the fact remains that assaults,
suicides and murders are all far more fire.
Quent in summer than in winter in New
York city, and there is reason for it.
To understand this reason fully you must
visit the tenement house regions of the
city on very hot day or night There live
the poor-the poorly fed, poorly housed,
poorly educated (as a rule) and least re-
sponsible members of the community.
Riots, assaults and murders are not COM

Hot weather and crimei There really
seems. at first thought, no reason why the
two should be coupled. The degree Of
caloric, as indicated by the innocent look
ing thermometer, seems to have nothing
to do with the domination Of man over his
moral nature To suppose that man Is in
fuenced to crime by the mere fact that the
weather is twenty degrees higher than
would be really comfortable is to suppose
him poor creature, indeed, but that is the
fact.
AT least the police say so, and statistics
say so. And perhaps the strongest confir-
nation of it may be found by recalling the
fact that nearly all the riots that have dis

sires gratifed. Among the poor there Is
an amount of physical suffering from the
heat that Is enough to make a saint savage.
No ordinary man can be expected to see
his wife and children sleeping, as I have
many times seen them sleep, on the stones
of the sidewalks or the bare roofs of the
tenement houses and preserve his amtabil-
ity. His irritation at their and his own
physical discomfort is likely to assume q
spirit of resentment against those who are
more fortunate.
This feeling is likely to be aggravated by
conversation with othees as badly of as he,
and still further by joining them in the
only luxury within the poor mans reach
beer. Drink affects men more quickly in
hot weather than IN cold. Let some ques-
ton OF special excitement be under discus
sion at such time and it is easy to see
how q riot is more easily stirred up than it
would be in the winter. This is not theo-
rizing. 1t is fact The well to do know
nothing of the sufferings of the poor in
July until they go to the poor mans home
and see for themselves.
Aside from this question OF crime a.
affected directly by the heat Of summer IN
a great city. there Is a direct loss TO the
community from the heat that is not easily
figured up, but which is very great. Men
cannot work in summer as they do in win
ter and business Is interrupted to greater
extent than is generally realized Few
persons appreciate how slight cause may
increase the friction Of the great machine
we call commerce, and how greatly that
friction may delay its working. A sick
Aorse, a sun struck laborer, 81 overworked
and wilted messenger, a lazy clerk or any
other one of the direct results Of hot
weather may Interfere with an enterprise
