SELECTIONS FROM TIE NAIL.
BICYCLES AND DOGS.

TO the Editor OF The Tribnne.
Sir The practice Of harboring vicious dogs and al.
lowing them access 10 the public thooughfares in the
cities and towns OF Eastern NewJersey has become
an intolerable nuisance that demands vigorous
measures for It's abatement. The daily records of
seous injuries inflicted attest the constant peril To
life and limb to which men. women and children are
exposed Newspaper and letter carriers and Others
Obliged to deliver goods from house to house are frs
hnent victims. As pecuniary responsibility for
damage is rarely TO be found, the dogowner should
be made criminally liable for the acts Of tho animal
precisely as II committed by himself. OF course
every owner will tell you that his particular brute Is
perfectly harmless and could not DO induced to bite
any one for the world, but nevertheless like the gun
that isn't loaded, he will do harm when least ex.
pected. Public officials seem to be Indifferent toward
any protective measures and it is therefore sstis
factory TO hear that In two places ~ least

will become epidemic. Since the OF bicycles be-
came so general their riders offer conspicuous and

New York have this year been forced to go to
Norris Park or Jerome Park Brighton Beach, and
have come TO this conclusion regarding this ard other
sports-it is being Overdone. There IS entlTey oo
