the El Heirie was as bright as oil could
make it. 1t was an ideal day for the
Canadian boat, light westerly wind and
a perfectly smooth sea. The wind was

dicted that the race would scarce

PARK FOR GRHHNVILLB
Henry Lembeek Gives a Plot
Near Old Bergen Road
Offers Another to
the City.

At last Greenville Is to have a park Af-
ter long series of failures the long
wished-for Improvement has come, not as
the result of petition, but In the form
OF gift from Henry Lembecls, who has
been at the head of various moves to inn
prove the general aspect of Greenville.
Mr.. Lembeck owns considerable pro-
perty along the Bouleyata and has ad-
yanced several schemes for It's improve
ment. He was at the head Of that move
few years ago, which was to construct
park stretching from the Newark Bay
shore to the Boulevard. But when the
plan was about completed it fell through.
Now he has given from his possessions a
plot IS feet long by 10 feet broad 1t is to
come out of the section bounded by Old
Bergen Road. Jackson place. Boulevard
and Bartholdi place.
Surveyors have been at work for the
past few weeks laying out a new street
which will run From Columbia place and
Old Bergen road diagonally across the
plot in question and meeting the Boule-
ward at Avenue B, Bayonne. and crossing
jackson place and Bartholdi place al
right angles. Jackson avenue, which is on
thea map of the city as incompleted, will
run parallel with this new street, and
with these streets as boundaries there is
a quadrangular plot 700 feet long and $50
feet wide.
Mr.. Lembeck gives one-half of this plot
and offers the other half to the city at
stated price.
The park then as laid out will be en-
closed by Bartholdi place. Lembeck ave-

Jackson avenue, not yet through.
petition is now passing among the
residents adjacent to the property where
the park will be for the opening and ma

in this section are extremely long, owing
to the diverging of the Boulevard and the

POLICEMAN'S MEAN AC4
johnson Arrested a Saloon
keeper Who in Pity Gave
Him a Drink.

Saloons in the old. Fourth district were
yesterday more or less closed and those
which were open did business in such
manner that unless one was familiar
with the place one would never suspect
that It was open But one arrest was
made, the unfortunate being Edward f.

minent member of the Fremont Club.
And strange as it may seem he was ar

Mike Johnston, the chanceman. was

Yesterday afternoon, wiping the perspira-
ton from his brow, when Mrs. Raacke,
wife of the arrested saIoonkeeper. saw
him and taking pity upon him slowly

Why don't you invite that poor hard
working policeman in and give him q
drink. Poor man, but how he does
work.
All right, replied the husband, and he
went outside and invited Mike in.
Mike said he'd have beer and the
beverage was Immediately given to him.
It was nice and cool and it took the
oluecoat about three seconds to drink
it, After drinking it he longingly looked
at the keg from which ii had been
arawn and wiped some more perspiration
from his face
Proprietor Raacke asked him If he
would take another but Mike politely
refused and said he would have to take
him instead
Raacke was speechless at first but
when he recovered his breath he de-
nounced Johnston most roundIy for want

Haacke was doing business and he would
nave 10 arrest him. Raacke furnished
