Liquor Dealers Association Keeps Its
Promise-Violators Very Wary.
New York, September 29.-Although
the police were very energetic in their
efforts to thoroughly enforce the Excise
law today, it was not quite SO strictly
observed as last Sunday. The saloon
keepers who carried on quiet trade for
the benefit Of their friends and best
customers had acquired degree OF
caution from their former experience,
and were careful to keep out all who
might be possible police spies, and also
occasional patrons. Where saloon keepers
were doing business the doors and
windows were carefully screened and the
police cold not get evidence of Excise
violations from the sidewalk.
Members of the Liquor Dealers Central
Association were said by the police to
have adhered to their promise made
sometime ago, not to keep open on Sun
day. It was said that those who violated
the law we're outside Of the association.
No attempt was made by the police to
interfere with big clubs, cafes or restau-
rants.

the new wheels has begun.
Saturday evening two Bath young men
garbed themselves in women's attire and
went out on the streets. A police officer
"caught on'' and shadowed them, in
tending to make an arrest when he could
do it without attracting two much at
tention. The two men went into a
Centre street store, and the officer getting
tired of waiting so it is said, went in to
arrest them, but was fooled, for they had
loaught on'' to the fact that the officer
was si.l.ssS ss31fis7 se:sh

The interest in the new city building
project increases every day, and q great
many of our:.citizens look with favor up

that it should be built on Front street at
the head of Centre street instead of on
the site now occupied by the present

CAPT. THORNE SEEKS COUNSEL.
If the CrImsons Want Further Inform n tic on
They Can Consult Lawyer Elder.

BoSTON. May 11.-Whether there will be any
game of football next fall between tho crimson
and the blue depends now entirely on Yale.
Although the reply of Harvard to Capt. Thorne's
demand for retraction Of last falls criticisms
has not yet been sent to New Haven, one
thing has been practically decided on
by the Harvard management, and that
is there will be apology made by
Harvard, nor will there be any retraction of
what was said after the game last November
Prof. Ames of the Athletic Committee main
tains the rolicy OF silence and will not say what
lIarvards course will be- 1t seems to be almost
the unanimous expression of Harvard men,
wherever they nave been questioned, that
should any apology or rctraction be sent to Yale
now Harvard would suffer in the public respect.
From information gathered in several quar-
tiers it is learned that Capt Thorne has given
the Harvard management to understand that
they can consult with Lawyer Samuel J. Elder
of Boston for any further information on their
side of the case. and 1t was for this reason that
Capt. Brewer called on him to-day. There is no
better known Yale man in New England than
When seen this afternoon Mr.. Elder said he
could not say anything at present on the mat
ter. rs it would not be courteous to the Harvard
football men.

interfere with the dual track games TO be held
at Cambridge tomorrow, hut these, ike the
New London races, are governed by agreements
made from year to year. The genes tomorrow

A singular aspect of the whole thing Is that

and Campbelrs former assistant will act in q
similar capacity for Croker.
"The Americans backed Banquet to win
$4,000. There has not been such gambling over
selling races as Dwyers since Squire Abington's
day. The victory Of Banquet H., however, is
good. for another reverse might have caused tho
Americans to abandon the struggle. for the
handicappers do not give them n chance"
The Standard will tomorrow publish an arti-
clio on Mr. Dryers horse Banquet II. In tho
course OF it's comment 1t will sny:
1T Is now perfectly understood that the inn
portntion of the American horses was purely
commercial transaction. There is no pretence
that 1t was anything else. Despite the fact that
Banquet was immensely superior to his poor
opponents. the race Thursday was nearly lost
by Simus's Indifferent riding.
Tho suggestion that Simms was Intentionally
