very neat looking and will be sure to
scare the COASTERS who have not
dreaded officers in civilian garbs. The
men are carrying the new rosewood clubs
without the tassels, which have not yet
arrived. The clubs are much larger than
the old ones and look to be both too
heavy and clumsy. The uniforms Of the
captains are particularly handsome. while
the light felt hats of the sergeants are
an innovation. Chief Black
burn has made some changes
in the disposition of his men. he has
taken Officers Cohen and Yates from the
Third district, which includes the

Beale and Green from the Second dis
tri t. which includes East Front street

JOURNAL reporter on East Eleventh
street last evening and in gentlemanly
manner requested him to have mis-
statement rectieed. Yesterday this
paper charged Officer Ayres with riding
on the merry go o-round at Ninth and

The mistake occurred in this way
The reporter was at Ninth and Lombard
streets and saw the officer on the merry
go-rouod. He asked some young men
the officers name. They said his name
was Massey. Not satisfied with this, the
reporter called up police headquarters
next morning and asked what officer

Not wishing to do Officer Massey an
injustice the word of the officials was
taken in preference to that OF others.
