OUR, NEW YORK LETTER.
Thousands of Persons Are Anxious 70
Serve the Greater City-The Aw-
full Craze For Betting.
Tspecial Correspondence.l


Now that the good people Of this city
have become tired of telling just how
it happened that Van Wyck was elected
mayor by a plurality of more than
so, 900 over Low thousands of the rank
and file are busy looking up the list of
minor offices at the disposal of the in
coming administration. Most of these
people proceed on the hypothesis that
as there are SO many thousands of jobs
more or less soft that will be given to
somebody the percentage chance of get
ting one of them is more than usually
large. There is something in that, of
course. but it must be remembered that
there are also a proportionately greater
number of applicants now that the city
is about twice as large as before. Nat
urally, therefore, there are bound to be
more disappointed than appointed per-
sons after the LIST day of January next.
Still, although almost every one of those
who are willing and anxious TO serve
khe city-for a consideration-is aware
of that fact, he is apt to incline to the
opinion that it applies only to the 10Th
er fellow" and that so far as he is con-
cerned he has "cinch" ON the place he
is after, to use the vernacular.
The Betting Continues.
While the campaign was in progress
of course there were all sorts of wagers
made. some of them absolutely inane
and others as sensible as bets ever can
be. But there was scarcely possible
phase of the outcome which did not
have odds offered against it by the pro-
fessional election bettors of whom there
are many in this city While this was
all doubtless very reprehensible it was
nevertheless natural in New York.
where the opportunity to bet is never
missed.
This spirit was. strikingly manifested
the other day when friend informed
me that he had wagered that before the
Sth day of January next steps will have
been inaugurated in at least one case
for the purpose of obtaining from the
courts an Interpretation of some pro-
vision of the Greater New York char
ter. He did not specify any particular
clause, but he felt certain that some
one of the many would be found defect
i've within week after the new charter
will have gone into effect. 1t is not by
any means improbable either, if our
friends the lawyers are to be believed,
that my friend may win his wager, for
many of these assert that the instru-
ment under which the big city is to be
governed is VIGOROUSLY defective in in
Vulnerable points. This may simply be
case where the wish is father to the
thought, but thousands of persons will
be greatly surprised if the time of the
judiciary is not largely occupied after
the new years beginning in telling the
people who drew up the charter what it
is all about.

What IL the gold of the corn lands
Is faded 10 somber grays
And what II the down OF the thistle
Is ripened and scattered away
There's gold in the gathered harvest;
There's homely and heartsome cheer;
And so we will be full joyous
The day OF Thanksgiving is here.
A sigh for the vanished splendor
or the Autumn's purple and red
For the goden.rod that is ripened,
For the gentian bloom that is dead;
Then turn TO the hearthstone CHEEKY:
Behold tits the time OF year
To count our blessings and mercies-
The day of Thanksgiving is here.
Bare and brown in the shadows
The meadowland meets the gaze,
Where the bold, blithe bee went seeking
Its sweets in the summer days.
The honey is stored in plenty,
So what If the winter is neary
The time is not one for repining
The day OF Thanksgiving is here.
The fruit has matured in it's season,
The sunshine has ripened the seed.
Then sing 10 the Lord OF the harvest
A song Of thanksgiving indeed.
The morn and the noon have passed by us;
IT'S the sweet afternoon of the year.
So let not your tribute be lacking
The day OF Thanksgiving is here.
