There were great many sore heads in town

their afiiction save in hoarso whispers whore

applies to the man whose head has been actually
injured and wounded, as woll as to him whose
trouble seems rather as an internal enlargement
developed concomitantly with an external
shrinkage; for IL q man say. II have been struck

marks as TOO bad you couldn't keep your

This year thcre wero moro men than usual TO
whom this last remark might have been made II
they had complained yesterday. The monster
celebration at City Hall Park drew larger
crowd than ever before gathered in that region
on Now Years eve. There was also an extreor..

iicemen the majesty OF the law and the right OF
authority lost much potency, and the policemen
were forced to fall back on brute strength and
night sticks.
Looking down on the crowd from any Of the
buildings about the park one could always hnd
at least one point at which there was trouble.
Sometimes It was a long line of policemen forc-
ing back the eager crowd and sometimes IL was
q knot Of citizens having fun with detached
policeman. In either case 1t was q fairly good
naturod struggle, but 1t was, nevertheless,
fierce. OF course, policeman had an .dvan.
tage when he began to use his club. and many
clubs were used. and to good effect, 1t should
be borne in mind that the sight Of brondished
club is OF no effect whatever on such q crowd.
clubs were brandished steadily from 8 o'clock
to but the effect was produced by most
heartily administered whackings from tho clubs.
After tho celebration was all over people be-
gan to find out just whore they had boon hit,
and many of them dropped into hospitals and nd
