PARK CITY SADDLE HORSES.

Perry L. Hurd, of the well known firm of Hurd & Jones of Bridgeport, is pasturing on his stock farm in Monroe number of first class saddle horses unequalled in the state of Connecticut, from the well known Park City stables of George Cook in East Bridgeport. After season of unusual demand and activity these horses certainly we'll merit a short season of rest and recuperatiOn, where the feed is luxuriant and streams of water never failing. Among the number of MT Cooks horses on Hurd' s stock farm, special mention should be made of the celebrated thoroughbred Kentucky horse, Dotely, upon which Ex-Governor Bulkley rode for four consecutive years at Mantle camp grounds, on two successive occa- sions in New York, the Columbus cele- bration, and the great Industrial parade, and the immense cotton industrial parade at Providence R. l., last year. MT Cook also informs us that the ex-governor would have no other horse but this to ride during the opening of the great Worlds fair, Chicago, and with several others he was forwarded tC Chicago at that time at a total cost of about $500. One thousand dollars would be no temptation to MT Cook tc | part with this superior animal.

THE BEE BUZZ,


If man was to advertise for ffrst- class servant, to whom he would pay large wages and give great privileges, he would in all probability have 50 appli- cants to every one who would prove to be competent to fill the situation.
 And the same would also prove true if one was to advertise for a skilled me- chanic. The great trouble in the indus trial world is not so much a matter of wages as of worthy, reliable workers. It is not so much a question of hours of toll as of honest, temperate and intelligent toilers. Capital is forced in self-defense to put heavy discount on labor because of the bad habits and unsteady hands of so many untrained and unwilling labor CTS. The few who are skillful and com peGent and trusted seldom or never lack for work and ample wages. The millen- ium of the work-a-day world will not come until those who labor are more skillful and competent and faithful on their part. Capital, as a rule, is eager to find choice men, because the service of such means better products and more profits and less riske, and the wages must be regulated by the demands of the mar kets

We will see the old flag, With it's stripes all faded now, And the stars are only holes, To let the sun shine through. But yet, the old flag is dearer To us then new one could be; For Bill, our wandering son, Bought this for you and me. No, we do not want new one, For this was Bills first flag; How the rascal would laugh to See Dad rig pole for this old rag Don't cry, Betsy, he yet will come, Iris long years since he went; A mothers prayers must surely prove Our faith to him whom they are sent. What! stranger, standing in the path And halting near the old flag stand; As if no strength is left. him To take us by the hands. Oh father! we thank thee, Our boy is once more at home; May we remember this glorious day And pray that he never more may roam So gaily wave, old flag so true, Thre is oy to-day in our home so dear, Welove to look at thy faded blue, Trusting to see thee wave yet many q

SAD TAX COMMISSIONERS.

When They Now Go to the "Gut," They
Will Go on the Horse Car.
Even the Legislation act which, for a
time prevents Mayor Wanser from re-
moving from office certain city officials,
could not today drive from the faces of
the members of the Board Of Tax Com
missioners an expression of sadness that
inclined one to melancholia as soon as
observed. There was much reason
for this unhappy condition OF mind about
the City Hall. for the chief occupation
of some OF the officials had been ended.
The Mayor some months ago refused to
sanction the extravaganza of the Tax
Commissioners in keeping trotter and
surrey for daily service between here and
Gutten berg, aud for extra service for
Clerk Connolly on Sundays, when ne de-
sired to give mis- family an outing, and
for that reason no money was provided
to encourage this beneficial outdoor
family exercise and health invigorator.
When the Tax Commissioners found
their approximation had been cut to the
lowest figure by the Mayor, they entered
upon new era. in their official existence
They economized. They had to do this
or go to the track in a street car. In
economizlng they discharged half
dozen clerks. Then they counted up the
gains. Alas. they were not enough. An
other sacrifice had to be made Mathe-
matics we're resorted to. The
rule, of three and calculus
were exhausted in the effort to prevent
the last sad sacrifice, but figures do not
lie.9 There was no help for it. The trotter
that cost $500 and the surrey that cost as
much more, and that had conveyed many
o. winner from the Gut to MuIdoon's,
must be sold. There was no help for it.
The sale took place today at Bryan
Smiths stables, and J. H. Keim bought
the turnout for 1921. Fred Wolbert was

ThesLicensing of the Linden Race Track
is In the Balance.
Special to The JERSEY Ctty Netcs.
LINDEN. March ID. 1893.-The election
in progress here Is red hot one. Serious
rows are expected to occur as the night
draws near The polls are surrounded
by crowds OF voters and disreputable
characters.
The issue is whether the Linden race
track shall be licensed, and there is a Bit
ter struggle going on between the Law
and Order people and the race track men.
The latter are using money freely. and
declare that they will carry the election.
There are less than 500 voters in the
town, but both sides regard the election
as OF the utmost Importance. Every
voter in the place is being urged to 40 to
the polls, aud in many instances liberal
inducements are made by the race track
men to get the voters out.
Frederick G. Cole, who was nominated
for Township Committeeman. refused to
allow his name to be used on che ticket
because he has openly declared that he
Is opposed to the race track. and under
no circumstances would he agree to as
sign a license for the track. Mr.. Cole
was looked upon as sure winner for
the race track men. His withdrawal has
somewhat demoraizei the latter.
The Law and Order people sent repre-
sentatives to Mayor Rankin at Elizabeth
this morning, asking him to detail
a detachment of the Elizabeth
police for duty at the polls here.
Mayor Rankin said he had no
authority to send the Elizabeth police to
Linden and referred the Law and Order
Committee to Sheriff Hicks, who had jur-
isdiction all over Union County.
A strong effort will be made to carry
the race track measure.
