ing New Publications.
What the publisher has bravely described as
"a book OF brutal verse" Is issued by Mr.. H.
ingalls, Kimball under the title. Lays OF
Chinatown and other Verses" The author.
Mr.. George Macdonald Major. sings Of the
lights and shadows Of life in Chinatown and It's
immediate neiRhborhood. touches more or less
lightly on some moral and religious topics. and
incidentally says the mplimentary thing OF
one Colligan's whiskey. brand which he
describes as
So ripo with-age. through wood so mellow.
'Twould make churl genial fellow,
And stop worst enemies of their quarrel.
With not headache in barrel:
Also he celebrates the dear delights OF Coney
Island in n manner that marks him as some
what different from many poets.
In the torrid days Of summer.
When you feel the qutvering heat
Parch the atmosphere around you
And the Rlistening city street;
There is health and strength and rapture,
Then to steal an hour away.
Where the sands of Coney Island
Show their varied world at play.
Oh, the flashing arms and legs Of lovely
Oh the frank, revealing earos Of graceful
women
Tho abandon;
There the sand on,
The abandon. grand on. sand on,
Public spots OF ong.hared. star-eyed.
ltho-limbed women.
Here Is surely what the classifers OF litera-
ture call good local color. and. in the Tilt OF tho
verse. the echo OF tho steam piano. the barrel
organ. the tunefu call OF the gentle barker and
all those other blended sounds that make the
music OF that favored spot thing to be re-
membered.
The Bowery has had many singers to do 1t
honor and Mr.. Major is not behind hand with
his tribute:
oh, de Bowery's not fsstidyus; dere amt no such
ting as dirt
And bloke's full-suit IN summer dcre 10 pants.
and Shoes and shirt.
And lady dresses likewise, changin' pants inter .

On de Bowery. on de Bowsry.
swaller tails q breach Of peace.
And billed shirt calls 'perlice."
And an overcoat vest
Only good ter hook at best
Dey allow such frivorty on do Bowery.
1t will be seen that rhymes flow with pleas
ant facility from this poets pen point and be
manufactures verse as one to whom difficulties
present themselves but for the purpose OF be-
ing annihilated. Wilson Is O good. honest
and emlnently prosaic name. not ordinarily
suggestive OF poetic posslbllites-but. in an
