New York Went Dry,

Onlyy thirty seven saloons keepers were arrested as against sixty-one on last Sunday.

Women Have a Right to Ride Bicycle in Appropriate Dress.

 ''Women have a God given right to ride a bicycle and they are bound to have some comfortable and appropri- ate dress therefore. Were Mrs. Noe a woman with one foot in the grave and the other on pedal; were she of a size that threatened to frighten horses and impede traffic or were her habli- ments of the sort originally designed by the women whose name they bear. I should be disposed to give her the limit of the law.

VIEWING THE VALKYRIE III
GATES OF THE ERIE BASIN DRY
 DOCK THROWN VIDE OPEN.

She Win be Taken Under Tow to the Hook
 To-day, Where She Will be Given Her
 First Sail in Racing Trim in American
 Waters-streams of People Blocked to
 See Her.
 New York, Aug. 25.-Erie Basin dry dock proved new Sunday resort for New Workers and Brooklynites to-day. All day long streams of people flocked to the place where the English cutter Valkyrie III. lies on dry dock. The big gates at the entrance to the yard were thrown wide open to permit of easy in- gress and egress. Fakirs selling photos and various appropriate devices, such as Defender ribbon etc, hawked their wares and the basin assumed somewhat the phase of fair ground.
 The hull of the Valkyrie was partly hidden from view by screens of canvas hung over her sides to protect her new paint from the blistering heat of the sun.
 Her crew were all away, having gone up the Hudson for a days outing on the tender City of Bridgeport. Only one of them remained to act as a deck watch man. A yard watchman was stationed under the hull and several were on duty about the dock. For the first time since she was placed in the basin her decks were clear of tools, ropes, etc. She looked quite prepared for being taken out of the dock, as she will be to-mor- row morning, when she will be lowed to the Hook, her sails bent on the way and then given her first sail in racing trim in American waters.

More About the Affairs of Atchison and
 Santa Fe Road.

Rossington, western counsel for the Atchison reorganization committed and others interested in the Atchison organization arrived here last evening They are on their way to Topeka, where arguments will be made before Judge sue decree for the foreclosure of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail- way company. No opposition to the granting of the decree is expectei though it is probable Judge Springer and other attorneys of Torrences Fle- Hated Terminal Railway company, which latter claims $2,000,000 for violation of contract, may appear and resist fore closure until their suit is determined.
 It is the opinion, however, that Judge Caldwell will grant the decree. If it is granted the matter will be referred to a master in chancery, who is to advertise for bids and fix the date for the sale of the road. After the sale has been con- firmed by the court the reorganization committee is to take hold and reorgan- ize the property, when the receivers will be discharged
 The decree of foreclosure which is to be asked for Tuesday refers only to the main line of the company and not to the road property of the Atlantic and Pacific and St. Louis and San Francisco companies, which are in the hands of and managed by the same receivers as the main line and are included in the reorganization scheme. Subsequent ac- ton will have to be taken. regarding these roads As soon as the decree for the foreclosure of the main line has been granted steps for the foreclosure of the other properties will be taken.

Hazelton was also cut about the face, but not badly hurt.
 Wilson was in imminent danger of bleeding to death and Dr. Shepard was summoned, who sewed up the wound and sent the man to the hospital in this city for further treatment. At late hour last night Wilson was resting com- fortably, though very weak from the large loss of blood, and the physicians stated that unless inflammation set in the man would be out in couple of weeks.
 No arrests have been made in the case as yet, but there will be later, al- though there were no witnesses to thes affray and no complaint has been made.

NO EXCITEM ENT,
All Quiet at Lighthouse ePoint-Mysterious
 Quart Bottles.


 It was quiet Sunday at Lighthouse Point yesterday, although the resort was visited by hundreds of people from this city. The liquor sellers observed the Sunday law in a befitting manner, and the visitors drank sarsaparilla un- less they brought the picnic baskets with them. The "sociaT' and athletic clubs" are not disposing of beer there any more on Sunday and the place is decidedly dry.
 A new feature of the evasion of the law is the liquor peddler, who has couple of quarts of liquor slowed about his clothes in pint bottles and who will furnish a drink of cheap whiskey to a desperate picnicker for ten cents. There are two ex-bartenders who do quite a lucrative business in the after noon in this manner, but they take few chances and seldom sell only to parties personally known to them.
