other ball in power. as the cannon ball,
the mimic ball, and the ball you get be-
tween the acts. But the most powerful
pail of them all is the Old Guard Ball,
which was held in New York last night,
for it was powerful enough to bring the
staid old conservative Senate of New
Jersey, which is never known to meet
earlier th.-u eight O'Clock, together at
7:15. So much in hurry were the august
Senators to get together and adjourn so
that they could reach the ball that they
could not even wait until the Committee
on Clergy could procure minister, and
as none appeared at the State House
earlier than eight O'Clock the Senators
ran the risk of transacting the States
business without first invoking the divine
blessing upon their work. Their con-
sciences must have troubled them, for
they did not remain in session long. and
did not do much business. 10 fact. all
they did was pass the resolution recalling
the Corporation Attorney and Counsellor
bill from the Governor, and receive long
list of nominations from the Governor,
which they did not consider.
The real object of the bill was said by
some to be to make place for ex-Gov-
ernor Albeit, and many arguments were
advanced to substantiate the theory,
such as the fact that he had opened an
Office in Jersey City, Governor
Werts' well known friendlinesss
for his predecessor, Senator
Marsh's statement two weeks ago that
the Ex-Governor was mot dead yet" and
would soon occupy q prominent position
before the public" Chauncey Beasley, the
Chief Justices son. was also quoted as
saying that it was for Ex-Governor ABB
bett, and several other statements of a
similar nature were all brought forward
On the other hand the Governor said
he knew nothing about the bill, and did
not know now whom he would appoint if
it became law. Senator Barrett, who
introduced it, denied that it was intro
duced in the interest of Governor Albeit.
Five bills were introduced. One by
Senator Barrett Is intended to provide
comfortable berth for Chief Justice
Beasley for the remainder of his life. 1t
provides for the retirement of the Chan
cellor, the Chief Justice or any Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court who may
have reached the age of seventy-five
years and who has been continuously in
office for twenty-five years or over. Such
retired officer is to receive seven-tenths of
the salary received at the time of retire
ment. Chief Justice Beasley is now
seventy-seven years old and has been on
the Supreme Court bench for twenty
eight years.
Mr.. Marsh introduced a measure pro-
viding for the appointment by the Gov
ernor of three Commissioners to prepare
code of criminal procedure for use
throughout the State, the Commission to
report at the next session.

BAD RACING. HITCH.
The Dryers Kick and So No Bill
Is Observation-Disclosures
Is Mad.

TRENTON, Jan. 81, 1898. Contrary to
made their appearance last night, and
much curiosity was excited by their ab-
sence. All through last week the initiated
had winked much with the ''alter ego'' as
the normal school young lady called it,
and mysteriously whispered that those
who were looking for race track bills had
better keep their weather eye open last
evening bnt although every one inter-
ested did as he was bid and stretched to
their widest extent both optics, no one
saw anything of the bills.
MAGNATEs INDIFFERENT.
Dennis Mclaughlin was about the
chamber and said that he did not believe
any bill would be introduced this week.
AS far as he was concerned, he was will
ing to support any reasonable measure,
but the Others interested in race tracks
could not agree.
Mr.. William J. Thompson, when
spoken to upon the subject, was in most
Respondent mood.
tNo. there will be no race track bills"
he said emphaticaly. "That,s the edict.
! am sick of this pickering and wrangling
which is going on among the men who
are interested in racing, and 1 wash my
hands OF the Whole business.
When asked who and what was the
cause of the contretemps, Mr.. Thompson
said he really could not tell and was as
much surprised as anyone. He had come
down prepared to see race track bill in
troduced.
DwYERs BLOCK THE Way

house, who knows as much as anyone of
what is going on among race track
people, also looked glum over the out
look. He wasted his superfuous and
suphurous adjectives upon the Dryers.
who own the track at Elizabeth, and are
interested in Monmouth and Linden.
He said that the Dryers were in some
way dissatisfied with the bills which
had been agreed upon. and which were
the same as introduced last year and
which were mentioned in yesterdays
JERSEY CITY NEWS. They had the local
option clause allowing the Board of Free
holders to license the track. There, how
ever, was no restriction as to the length
the DIVERS kicked. They wanted the
racing limited to thirty days on each
track, and this, OF course, the others
would not listen to. Then the Messrs.
Dwyer refused to have anything more to
do with the scheme and withdrew all as
surance of support financial or otherwise.
Upon this. Mr. Thompson, my Informant
says. said he didn't care a red cent il
There wasnt'G another race run in the
State, and besides he could race as long
as he wanted.
THE LOBBY is BLUE.
No one perhaps is more glum tonight
over the shape things have taken than
the powerful lobby which has worn
seraphic smile all tue season in anticipa-
tion of the great Doodle which the black
horse cavalry confidently expected would
be dumped among them.
Notwithstanding ali this show of anger
on the part of Mr.. Thompson. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin's Indifference and the lugubri-

Informed men who say that the differ
ences will all be healed before another
legislative week comes around. and the
