are pelng surrounded with q barbed-wire
renee. The athletic track is entirely laid
our, ana the work of putting 1t into condi-
Ilon Tor the Labor Day games of the ath-
ietlc cluo Is now going on. The heat of
tue last lew days seriously interfere; with
the latter.
The last of the wooden posts D
ing the Lehigh Valley Railroad bridge
across Linden avenu was removed yes
terday. For a long time these rosts have
seriously impeded traffic OH the avenue
at this point. They so narrowed the road
that only one wagou could pass nnder it
at line At night lanterns were not
nung OUT, and 1t is a mercy that no SER
lous accidents occurred.
One OF the rarlties of the season for
which the hot weather is responsible,
was witnessed by travellers on Ocean
avenue Yesterday afternoon. Three boys
OF ages ranging from twelve to fifteen
were seen playing about a watering
trough splashing each other with the
cool water therein. Suddenly Que slip
pea ana was precipttated into the trough.
He was heightened at first, but afterwards
splashed about as if he liked 1t. In a few
minutes he succeeded in exciting the
envy OF MS companions to such an extent
that first enc and then the other deliber-
aGeiy plunged into the trough clothes and
all. Many a Iooker-on gazed longingly
at them and wished he was in their
place.
The crowds which line the shore OF
Newark Bay during the four hours in
IN wh'ch the tide is high enough for
bathing is enormous.
Carloads come up from the city to en-
JOY a dip in the cool waters. This beach is
SO delightfully."- near at hand that it is NO
wonder that it is SO much in demand.

appeared to take in theirs in the
course OF every month. He
found that it represented in hard
cash the very considerable sum of
$50 a month, and he made up hi s
mind that one OF two things must
be the ease. Either the wicked ice
man must be getting in his fine work
or else the officials were consuming
more freezing mixture than the laws
of hygiene warranted.
His Honor pondcred long and deep
ly over the problem. The evil was
there, but he could not just put his
finger on it. and as Coke upon Little
ton and Kent's Commentaries have
nothing to say regarding the price of
ice, Spencer Weart was unable to see
him out of the difficulty. In
great tribulation the Mayor
fled to the arms of a
Democratic Office holder for aid. He.
confided his ideast to City Marshal Tim
Long, and implored his. aid. Tim
took the matter in hand with alacrity.
He went forth and did battle with the
wicked iceman, and after a fearful
combat of chaffering and dickering,
he succeeded in reducing that eXor-
bitant and awful bill to the compare
lively moderate amount of $35 a
month. saving to the city the sub
stantial sum of $50 a month or $24O
a year, thus handsomely redeeming
! Mayor Wa1ser's ante-election prom
I Uses ITO do the best he could' to save
the taxpayers money, and certainly
fully reaching the maximum expecta-
tions of all thoughtful people.
We will not be SO ~ungenerous as to
claim for the Democratic party any
share of the glory of this economy on
account of Tim Longs share of it.

upon the record with many exclama-

work, let Wanser's be the guerdon of
praise.
Nor a we permit anyone to cast
reflections upon the magnitude of the
reform accomplished. If Mayor Wan
ser and his successors can con-
tinue to hold the iceman and
Seneca Barker in control and
can render this annual economy
of $240 perpetual in years to come, the
sum thus saved, if regularly applied
to the liquidation of the city debt of
SIS, 600, 900, will suffice to completely
wipe out and discharge that liability
and remove the burden from the
shoulders of the taxpayers, in the
period of seventy-fve thousand years
from this date.
