ATHLETICS KICKING.
Trouble Over the Entries in the
Regimental Association
Games.

Great deal of bad feeling exists be-
tween the members of a committee ap-
pointed by the Regimental Athletic AS
soeiation and the members of certain
company in the Fourth Regiment.
Messrs. G. v. Al. Walsh. Company B;
w. Schoonoyer, Company A, and B.
Moore constitute committee appointed
by the Athletic Association to ARRANGE
the programme for the games and place
the mea "A their places. Company B has
so many entries that in order to place
them almost equally it necessitated the
placfag Sof four Of their best men in the
first heat of the fifty yard dash, with.
member CT Company A While this would
seem to give Company e an advantage
sti!l from their wigwam comes a squeal.
I.ney claim that the men placed in this
heat are their best runners. Their names
are Messrs. w. Brister. Mansfield, p.
=. Williams and A. Wnyte. OF these
Manseld MAJ, ed is considered dark dark horse
field to win in this event, and considers it
wrong that three good men have to ran
against a sure thing. and as result
there is bitter feeling between Compa-
nies B and A.
The cause is more or less due to these
games Company B wants the cup; 50
does Company A. A member of Company
on the committee instead of remsi,-
ing silent as to the working of the COM
nlltIee, went TO n S company ana raised
a howl. The result was the kick. The
programme is ct present II the hands
Of printer, and while the, committee
cannot change the remainder OF the
events they will endeavor to accomno-
date Company to some extent and alter
the entries in the fifty yard dash.
When this &smmirtee was appointed
its work was not to be known until the
night of the games, as there is always
more or less kicking done in the reg.
ment. But one delegate of Company B
has caused considerable trouble from the
start. II is plainly the result Of an ex-.
panded Uranium. When the track was
first marked out this gentleman rushed
TO one of the boxes in front of the finish
line and engaged it for his company.
II turned out that !, he had based his oper-
ations on q small tack placed in the
floor. Afterwards, when it turned out
that this was not the finish, there was
heard wall from his company.
Desiring to win the cup offered to the
team winning the most number of points.
Company 3 sent in quite numbers of
entries. Now that the committee has
divided them equally kick arises. To
other companies it seems strange that
this is the only company kicking in the
regiment, and it is also shame that
this company has to bear the result of
one members indiscretion. The com
cast upon them by the remarks of this
diplomat.
it is entirely out of the question that
any crooked work has been done, or
even contemplated by the gentlemen
comprising this committee who are
working heart and soul to make the
games success.

STRICTLY IMPARTIAL.
The Democratic City Committee
Leaves the Field Clear for
Street and Water
Board Candi-
dates.

A well attended meeting of the Demo-
cratic City Committee was held last
night in Fischer's Hail. The action of
the Committee of One Hundred and Fifty
in Recommending Ferdinand Heintze and
Major Boltwood as candidates for the
Street and Water Board was discussed.
The committee did not endorse the names
Of the prospective candidates for the
reason that the party is working under
an elective primary system and it would
be Unfair to endorse Heintze and Bolt
wood to the exclusion Of other possible
candidates. 1t is not generally believed
that there win be many candidates at
the primaries. Outside OF Aiessrs Heintze
ana Boltwood it is possible that James
Koian viii be the only nominee. He has
not filed his petition yet but he has

CLEAR YOUR SIDEWALKS PLEASE

The residents on the Heights are slow to
remove the snow and ice from the sidewalks,
and in consequence the police of the Fourth
and Sevtnth precincts are busy notifying these
delinquents to remove the ice or suffer the
consequence.
The people in the Bergen district are par
ticularly at fault in this matter. On West
Side avenue, where there are a gretat many
lots and too few street lamps. this nuisance
is more forcibly brought to notice. A mis-
step might result very seriously. The poor
drunk who wends his weary way home
ward on this street must depend wholly on
fate or luck whether he passes each az these
lots in safety. One lot Summit avenue
near NewlSirk street, is in very bad con-
dition. The police of the Seventh precinct
find it difficult to locate the owner Of the
property.
