but Council. although 1t was asked to re-
consider its action, did not rescind its

that is, not the prejudice OF Mr..
Kempshall but the opinion of ninety
nine men out Of a hundred-held that a
fine, a penalty of sufficient Importance
to vindicate the law. would be ample to
meet the requirements of justice. There
seemed to b. no more reason why per-
sonal severity should be visited upon
these men than upon the Engemanns,
the Dryers. or the Lorillards, the Ben

who were the hackers Of the Monmouth
Park s'disorderly house, People could
not just see, and. we believe. cannot to
this day just see why these gentlemen
should go scott free while the Gutten-
berg directors were sent to the Peniten-
tiary.
No doubt the Court of Pardons took
this just and fair view of the case. They
made up their minds that there should
not be one law for one set OF men and
another law for another who had done
Just the same thing. Hence their act
of clemency yesterday, We do not think
the State has any reason to regret the
act. Nobody will attempt to run a race
track here in the near future. And. as
for the politics of it, the Republican pa
pers howl in vain. 1t will not influence
a vote next November.

WOULD NOT STOP FOR THE OFFICER
Result of Theodore G~autschfss Fast


Theodore Gautschi of No. 30S Bloom
field street, Hoboken. was arrested yes
terday on Duncan avenue for reckless
driving.
There has been a great deal of fast
driving on the Boulevard lately and the
police, who have received several com
plants, intend to put a stop to it If pos
sible. Several arrests have been made
in the past week without apparent effect
upon the reckless drivers. Gautschi was
driving faster than eight miles an hour
yesterday and Chanceman Milbng
promptly hailed him, intending to adj
wise him of the requirements of the law.
When Gautschi heard the officer shout
ing at him he became alarmed, thinking
that he would be put under arrest. He
whipped up his horse and turned off the
boulevard into Duncan avenue at a
rapid pace. When he reached the middle
OF. the block the horse turned to one
and threw Gautschi off the seat and he
was arrested. The horse turned into
Bergen avenue, and in turning up Fair
mount avenue swung the wagon against
the framework of a large plate glass
window belonging to John H. Heye, at
Bergen and Fairmount avenues, and
smashed the glass. Gautschi was in
court this morning with a lame leg,
which is the result Of his fall from the
wagon. He was fined 20 by Judge
Don glass.

formance in PiafnfcId.

In Plainfield a few nights ago, a dra-
attic performance was given by amateurs
for a local charity. The play was 1.-THE
Russian Honeymoon" and the principal
role was sustained by Mrs. l.. w. Ser
rell. Jr., who was formerly Miss Maude
James Chiffon, a talented young artist
of this city. The performance was wit
messed by the haut ton of Plainfield, who
showed by their attendance how they APP
preciated the efforts of the clever anna
teurs. In speaking of Mrs. Maud Chill
ton.SerrelPs work, the Daily Press of
Plainfield says
Mrs. L. w. Serrell, Jr., who as Miss
Maude James Chiffon was an amateur of
note, is at home on the stage; and gave
a polished picture of the Baroness Vlad-
imir. Her personal charms, her exquis-
lite toilette. were accentuated by her Par
isian her vivacious gaiety, and
the infectious charm of her merry laugh

advantageous work than in the immor-
tai Tea at Five O'Clock" and her per-
Torrance was genuinely superb.
