GOOD LOSERS.

Some OF the London papers are deriving
melancholy sort Of satisfaction from the Thought
that the Cambridge athletes were beaten by Inc
American climate rather than by the Yale cham

If conditions is understandable in international
connections and visitors must take 'heir
chances 1t IS pleasant to remember however
that our weather has lately been remarkably
fine and that last Saturday in particular was
supcratively adapted to the use which the Eng

teams did not come To the scratch in perfect
form the weather was not responsible for their
defects.
This IS evidently the view OF the matter which
is taken by Captain Koran, Of Cambridge VINO
made an admirable little speech at the dinner
on Saturday night setting an example of candor
and manliness in defeat which can be protably
initiated for all time TO come by every one who
loses an honorable prize. Now that the strug
"glc for supremacy is over, we can only say that

Koran put It. We dare say he might have
framed more or less plausible excuses if he had
wanted 10. and perhaps even have found some
where a theme for criticism Of American ways;
Int that is not his habit or inclination. He ana
his men have commended themselves to the re-
sncct and goodwill Of all with whom they have
been brought into contact and will carry home
a hearty invitation to come again.

COMMISSIONER SOUIER INDICATED.

An unwarrantcd attack was recently made on
Mr.. Frank Squicr, the Brooklyn Park Commits
sioncr on the ground that he was paying OK
ccssive prices for land near Richmond Hill nc
oulrcd for park purposes. Its author was Pat
rick IL Flynn a citizen not distinguished for
public spirit, whose appearance in the role OF
n reformer and opponent Of waste of the peoples
money was looked upon as a huge joke The
reason for his attack was not hard TO under
stand by those acquainted with the relations ex-
istinc between himself and Commissioner Squier
and the circumstance that the latter had stood
in the way II Tlynn's carrying out variety OF
plans in his capacity rs the president Of trolley

junction was heard by Judge Clement. in the
brooklyn City Court. and the Judge mas JUST
rendered his decision, saying: The aindavits
submitted TO me seem to show concluslveiy
that the defendant has not paid, and does not
"intcnd TO pay. for the lands included in the
Richmond IIill Park any more than fair price
ION the facts the plaintiff has failed to make
"out n case"
There WAS further question raised rs 10 the
constitutionality Of the law under when the new
marks are being acquired; but Judge Clement
did not feel called upon to pass on that. IhIs
law. 1t should be remembered was enacted
throueh Democratic influences in the cxpecta-
ton that certain members Of the Brooklyn King
would profit largely by the sale Of property
owned by them TO the city for park sites. The
nrosent administration has chosen to take adj
vantage of il for the benefit Of Greater Brook
lyn by making considerable and needed addi-
tions to the city's park territory. For the char
actpr Of the law, whether constitutional or other
wise II can in no degree be held responsible
The proceedings under II thus far have met
with almost unanimous popular approval, and
the purchases Of park lands have advanced so
far that some S400000O Of county bonds have
been issued for this purpose, the validity OF
which would be put in jeopardy in case any
serious attempt to have tho law declared uncon-
stitntional were made.
BY Judge clements decision Commissioner
Sauer is vlndlcated, and his Judgment in buy
ing mark lands Is declared sound. In terms the
decision affects only the purchases for Brooklyn

proples rights have been adequately guarded

must be gratifying not only to the Commissioners

AS an additional precauton to secure an honest
ballot law was passed last winter requiring
the inspectors TO make note OF the personal char
acterlstcs of citizens presenting themselves for
registration. Registration will therefore occupy
a little longer time than heretofore; hence the
necessity Is greater Of taking the earliest oppOr

first day for registration is today. and though
there will be three other days II s not wise TO
