NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The recent attack
on Russell Sage by a mailman who, unlike
Sage, could not collect himself after the
accident, calls our attention to the fact that
il spite of all statements 20 the contrary,
it is not very difficult to gain an audience
with almost auy of the big men of the
metropolis
They, as a class, are obliged to take every
precaution t. protect themselves from
cranSs and b1res; bat, just as love laughs
at lOcksmiths so does the man who desi es
to see big gun snap his fingers az the Office
boy-Gnd, perhaps, pistol at the big gun.
There is only one wny for a man overrun
with visitors to protect himself effectively.
Let him learn te!egraphy and place an
operator IN his outer Office. This may be
called the key TO the situation. Doubtless
the operator may be blown up now and
then, but the big gun is comparatively safe.
FOUNDERS.
There are five young and wealthy men in
this city who reside near each other on an
uptown block. Once in q while they meet
late in the afternoon and the outcome of
the meeting 10 q jamboree of unusually
large proportions even in this City of Red
Paint. A few nights ago, having exhausted
night off, =" these reckless youngsters each of
whom possessed q mustache OF more or
less significance, agreed to go to barber
shop, get clean -shaven and then exchange
night keys. You can imagine the result.
About midnight aU q certain station house
came a call for o lice aid from five different
houses on one block of the precinct. Five
smoo:h-faoed men were arrested, and
remorse, ACCOMPANIED by a heavy fine,
Il q 4 oil,
have been dubbed "The Five Foolish
Shavors" by the babies in the block.
BOWLING.
1t is fashionable now to be athletic. The
interest In sports of oil kinds has grown
rapidly in this city within the last few
years. The success attending the horse
show, the six days bicycle race, tug~of,war
contests between teams from various
countries, and other giadatorial exhioi-
tons at Madison Square garden are a
good illustration of this. Another healthy
diversion that is now meeting with
great favor in bowling. There has been a
rapid increase in the number of bowling
alleys in all parts Of the city of late and, II
you keep your ears open, you can hear on
all sides talk about STRIKES" and "spares"
and other things pertaining to sport ren-
dered classic by the legend of Hendrick
Hudson and his thirsty men.
CAPITAL AND CAPITALISTS.
If you want to build railroad in any
part of the country you will fad it very
difficult to obtain the money you require
from New York millionaire. They are
very shy at present, and even the most
allurinS charter, right Of way and connec-
tions seem to have 40 attractions for
them. 1t is sain, however, that it is not
very difficult TO get English or German
capital for promising American railroad
schemes.
The worst atmospheric calamity that can
overtake New York is q heavy fog. The
vast number Of people living IN suburban
towns aud cities and doing business in the
metropolis find that the ferryboGts can get
the better OF rain, snow or ice but when
the misty curtain rolls in from the
Atlantic and covers the waters and
the land, blanketing New York,
Brooklyn aud Jersey City, and
throwing its gloomy folds over Westchester
county, the poor 'commutern may fume
and fret as he pleases-he will be anywhere
from an hour to two hours late in his Office.
II these fogs didn't remind us all so much Of
dear old London" we'd have the govern
ment stop EN- when they reached quaran-
tine.
NEW SOCIETY.
We have here countless societies based on
geographical con siderations and showing
the cosmopolitan nature of the New York
community. The New England, Southern,
Ohio, Virginia and others are well known.
Another one. 1t is said, is about to be
started. 1t will be called either
the Upper Hudson Society or the
Hendrick Hudson society. It's design is
to gather about the festive board once a
year the men who have taken an opposite
course from old Hendrick aud come down
the river instead of going up. Chauncey
M. Depew, William j. Arkell, John A.
Sleicher, Esek Cowen aud other well known
men, are eligible to the society it seems
probable that within few years every
thickly-settled portion of the country will
be represented by metropolitan society or
club. CURTIS kINGLAKE.
