POLICEMEN NEEDED
Special Officers Asked for Service in
the Parks

If the police commission consents to
grant request made yesterday by the
board of park commissioners several
special policemen will be placed on duty
in the parks of the city. 1t is not the in
tention to ask for additional men for
police duty. but only that certain park
employees be given police authority. The
matter came up as part of the report
of Park Superintendent Carey, who
stated that during portions of the day
the parks were without police protec-
ton except that of the patrolmen on
the beats of which the parks formed a
part. This was stated to be wholly in
adequate, as some of the parks became
at times the gathering place of crowds
of roughs and mischievous boys who
would not regard the orders of park
employees. 1t was therefore recommend
ed that Foreman Garrison and Frank
Abbott be made special policeman and
that others be appointed as they were
needed. The recommendation was
adopted.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Carey that
the trees and plants in the botanical de-
partment of Elysian park be labeled,
the commission directed him to secure
the assistance of j. c. Harvey. The lat
ter is scientific botanist and has taken
great interest in that section of the park
The purchase Of 200 feet of 4-inch steel
pipe was authorized. 1t is to be used to

Park Commissioners Need
M the Chain Gang
TO FILL UP A DEEP HOLE
MORE AMENDMENTS TO THE

Special Policemen for the Parks-The
Electric Road and Olivera Street.
f5 Board Of Public Works

The question has been frequently ask
Icil, .'Where is the chain gang att with
lparticular emphasis upon the "at," but
until yesterday it was not answered. 1t
has been known that, from time to time,
whenever any councilman wanted par
ticular piece of work done in his ward
/ and could secure the chain gang from
another ward, he simply gave the order
to somebody and the chain gang was
moved. The discovery of it's where
abouts yesterday was the result of an
earnest request from the board of park
commissioners that the gang be placed
at work near Hollenbeck park where
there is a big hole which may spread
during the rainy season and damage the
park seriously. The matter was NEIL
tipned at the meeting of the park COM
mission, and it was decided to make the
request then, as the board of public
works was also in session at the same
hour. In body the board of park COM
missioners marched into the council
committee room where the other board
was busily engaged.
The visitors were accorded an audi
ence and presented the request for the
chain gang. Councilman Nickel hap
pened to be in the room and he at once
objected to the granting of the request
at this time. 1t then developed that the
gang is at work on Downey avenue in
Mr.. Nickelps ward, and that gentleman
did not propose to have them moved un-
til their work there had been completed.
In vain Mr.. Workman of the park COM
mission pointed out the necessity for
the work at the park. 1t was a case
where possession was more than nine
points. The board of public works
would not agree to make the change and
all that the park commission could get
was a promise that the gang would be
turned over to them as soon as the work
on Downey avenue was completed.

Tax Sales Of Property

City Clerk Hance has prepared and
will present to the city council Monday
voluminous report of the sales Of prop
erty for delinquent taxes prior to 1894.
Accompanying the report is state
ment of the assessments which appear
to be erroneous through having been
made against more than one person for
the same property. There are also
number of assessments which appear to
be inval1dated because Of faulty descrip-
tions of property. Those in which can
collation. should be ordered by the city
council are pointed out. The report Will
be referred to the finance committee and
it's examination and approval will, it is
believed, stop many demands upon the
council for rebates Of taxes.

NO "wlLLiE'S" GAME.
Golf Requires Endurance and Any Novice
viii Tell You So.

Golf Requires Endurance and ANY Novice
Will Tell You So.
The idea of golf that is prevalent
among most deyotees of football. base
ball AMI other rougher sports is that
the game is a cross between tiddle-de-
winlls and croquet--a sort of glorified
"nigger baby" with the most amusing
feature OF "niSGer baby" left out. There
is one old football man in this city who
doesn't think SO now. although he did
cnoc.
The gentleman in question is an old
harvard football man. He is great
admirer Of the rlanlier athletic games
and he held up his nose at golf, as a man
naturally would who thought il a game
for women and "Willies," but not for
men. Recently while on n visit to New
York friend persuaded him to visit the
Morristown golf links and finally to
take stick in the game.
Here is what the football man told
reporter of his adventures:
MY friend introduced me TO the men
who were to be my opponents. All of
them had on golf suits and most of
them had single eyeglasses in their
eyes ] kIsew that they were 'Wiliies'
the minute set my eyes on them, and
was mighty cool in consequence. be-
cause don't like 'Willies.' The game
was explained TO me as consisting in
batting a ball into couple of dozen
small holes with the least number of
strokes possible. made the first hole
all right with no more strokes than
most OF the men playing. and looked
around for the next. IT was farther off
than the first, and the fourth and fifth
were still farther apart. | began TO
grow tired. and by the time that the
sixth hole was reached was putting
and blowing like porpoise. looked
for my companions, and they were
stroiiing after their balls apparently as
fresh as when they started. followed.
1t was necessary to set my teeth and use
all my determination TO keep up with
them, but did. and finally completed
the first round.
NO one knows how many strokes
made. Considerably more than have
ever been made on those Inks before
at any rate. All that could do was TO
sink down on rock completely ex-
tausted and endeavor to get my wind
While | was still there Wheeling like
rusty pump one of the 'Willies.' whom
didn't despise any more-I was too
tired to despise anyone-strolled up to
me with pronounced English accent
that would have caused a riot on the
Strand. and said:
say. old chappy, we're goin' ovah
the blasted links again. Wouldn't you
like to come along%
Il told him that had an important
business engagement that would pre-
vent me. much as I would like to do
so. and dragged my weary legs Off
those Links. And if anyone tells YOU
that golf is Willie game just refer
him TO me. because know that it isn't"
