DIR. ~HoRNBLoWER's BIRTHDAY.

DR.. Josiah Hornblower celebrated his
~sixty-first anniversary of his birth yester-
day. In the evening he was surprised by
a visit from a number of his friends at
his home, Central avenue n Griffith
street, who showered presents, eongratu-
lations and good cheer upon him. The
first intination DR.. Hornblower had that
his friends had remembered him was
when he was ~serenaded by the Letter
Carriers Band and the Fremont Drum

the yard. The many friends of the doctor
entered the house, where they Toasted,
sang and danced until a late hour. Willie
Stanton rendered a mandolin solo very
creditably. Other features of the even
ing's entertainment were flute solos by
John Eckelman and singing by Dr. Vale.

HAsBR0UOK INSTITUTE TO REOPEN
school Work viii Begin Next
Week. s

The school year of Hasbrouck Institute
will begin next Wednesday morning, Sep
TENDER %, when the pupils will be en-
rolled. Mr.. Stimets and Mr.. Wait are
very busy now making final arrange
ments for the school work and receiving
new pupils. The enrolment thus far this
year is ahead of that of last year.
There will be two changes in the Facul-
ty. Miss Shirley Turner of Brooklyn
will nave charge of the Art Department.
She has a studio in Pratt Institute and
she has had charge of the Art Depart
ment of Berkeley Institute. She will put
the art work on a solid basis and will
teach painting and drawing from still
life and cast. Mr.. Stimets and Mr.. Wait
are now deciding between half a dozen
candidates for the position of teacher of
Latin and elementary branches, filled last
year by Mr.. George A. Disbrow. M. and
Nine. de yilaine will teach French and
German again this year. M. de vilaine
is a graduate of the University of Paris.
He has been a French military officer
and teaches fencing as well as Italian
and Spanish. Nine. de Vilaine is a grad
uate of the University of Berlin.
The new catalogue of Hasbrouck Insti-
tute made its appearance this year in a
handsome new cover of buff n green.
1t is illustrated by pictures of the school
rooms and some of the classes. It gives
concise accounts of the various classes
and departments. Special attention is di-
rected to the kindergarten and primary
department. These are both taught by
efficient teachers. The rooms are light
and airy and commodious. There are
two large rooms for the primary depart
ment and but forty pupils are seated
in them. There are two teachers for
them. The laboratory is one Of the fea-
lures of the Institute. 1t is fitted up
with all the appliances for experiments
in physics and chemistry.
A very great advantage that Hasbrouck
Institute has over other schools is that
the diploma of the school is now ex-
~changeable for the Regents pass as well
as the majority of the colleges and uni
versities. Tn Regents pass admits
pupils to the professional schools of New
York. HasbroHck Institute is now prac-
tieGlly a Regents school, being one of
the few schools outside the State Of New
York having the Regents pass.

The Davi. Excursion.

The excursion of the Robert Davis As
soc;ation. Yesterday, was a good omen of
Democratic victory. 1t showed mat the
party is enthusiastic and that it is thor
oughly organized. With these two quail
ties. courage and organization, to begin
the campaign with, it has nothing to
fear.
There were some brand new states put
on exhibition in the course of the DAY.
The writing on them was a surprise 10
mary of those who read it. There were
names and names, and some of them
seemed as if they must have been writ
ten by mistake. They made the readers
gasp. Perhaps they may be all right, but
every one knows how easy it is to rub
out writing on a slate, and it is more
than likely that there may be erasures
before the states are turned into tickets.
The Assembly slate, however, has no
mistakes in it's makeup. It is the best
card that has been played in years. Every
man on it is fit for the position. The
men. as a body, are of a higher order
of mind than any Hudson has sent to
the front in years, and they are all wor-
thy of public confidence. They should
be unanimously elected.
One odd fact is that Guv. DAILY failed
to come out of the storm centre with the
endorsement of Hudson for his boom. 1t
is strange how perverse politicians are

YESTERDAY, we had in ''The New"
examples of both classes of men who
make the streets and roads dangerous.
The careless bicyclist took a chance once
too often, and himself paid the penalty
of his rashness. The careless driver
smashed a riders wheel and narrowly es-
capped numbering the man. Both classes
are equally objectionable, and when the
police and the courts get a chance at
them-when recklessness is unmistaka-
bly, p~roved-they should show no mercy.
